Ninth Street Market

The Ninth Street (at St. Mary between Ninth and Harmony -- later 3138 Magazine at Ninth Street between Camp, and Constance), in 1865 was considered small, at only 32-by 150 feet (and valued then at $15,000). It was wired for electricity in 1903 when it still retained it's value assessment.

The market was remodeled in 1914 at an expenditure of $13,248.35. Sam Stone submitted plans for vestibules in the market in 1915.

In l931 Sam Stone Jr. & Company submitted a plan for renovation which included the furnishing of refrigeration machinery.
