Hide Profile

Faneuil Hall Market was opened for the sale of provisions in 1826. The market included the original Faneuil Hall built in 1740-1742, the two adjacent buildings known as Quincy Market, and the surrounding streets. Only vendors who occupied the buildings paid a rental. In 1827, the space under Faneuil Hall was divided into eight stalls. In 1858, the stalls were removed and the market was reopened as the New Faneuil Hall Market. George E. McKay was appointed superintendent in 1877.

From the description of Memorandum of the leases of the stalls and cellars in Faneuil Hall Market, 1877-1919. (Harvard Business School). WorldCat record id: 423751352
