In the 1940s, the City of Cleveland struggled to find an appropriate public use for Market Square and, at one time, even contemplated selling it. This is a 1948 drawing of a proposed new market building which looks very much like a modernized version of the old Pearl Street Market. The building was never built and instead the City elected to lease the shelter house on Market Square to a business entity which converted it into a bakery. | Date: 1948 | Source: Cleveland Memory, Michael Schwartz Library Special Collections at Cleveland State UniversityDownload Original File
