Jefferson Market/Jefferson City Market

Jefferson Market (also known as Jefferson City Market) was on Magazine Street at General Pershing between Berline and Napoleon streets.
In 1903 it was valued at $5,000.

In 1917 the city authorized plans and specifications and advertisement for bids for the construction of the original market which was destroyed by the storm. A new market was was erected in 1918 at a cost of $92,767.18

In 1932 Sam Stone Jr. $ Co. was approved to make alterations to the market at 4303 Magazine Street.

As of 2005 the building was used as a school gymnasium.

From the New Orleans Public Library:
"Another proud accomplishment of the [Mayor Martin] Behrman administration was the construction of a number of new public markets. "These markets," the 1916 volume says, "are designed to give the maximum of cleanliness and sanitation as well as freedom from flies and other contaminating insects and are of steel frame construction to insure stability and durability." This photograph shows the Jefferson Market, Magazine Street and General Pershing, under construction by the H.W. Bond Co.
The market was remodeled in 1932, and at the ceremonies celebrating its reopening, the Times-Picayune Commissioner Fred Earhart deplored "the chain stores policy of sending their money outside the city and urged support of home merchants." Times apparently haven't changed so drastically after all.
The building, designed by City Architect E.A. Christy, now houses the gymnasium of St. George's Episcopal School."
