Memory Market was located at 3125 Tulane Avenue.

A 1903 city ordinance provided for the acquisition and dedication of various sites for markets, including the northeast corner of D'Hemecourt & Lopez Streets for Memory Market.  
Sam Stone submitted the design plan in 1906.  It was built by Craven and Kane, who also constructed the Mehle and Ewing markets) from building material salvaged from the Pilie Market.

A new Memory Market and C. N. Maestri Market were constructed from the ground up during the 1930s under the Works Progress Administration.


Same Stone, Jr. & Co. made renovations to the market in 1936 through 1939.


The building has been demolished.
