There has been a Market House at City Dock since 1788. The land was given to the City in 1784 by Nicholas Carroll, Jacob Hurst, Charles Wallace, Joseph Williams, Thomas Harwood, John Davidson, James MacKubin and James Williams, all prominent businessmen.  Located in the heart of the Historic District where vessels have docked for centuries; the existing structure was built in 1858 and underwent a major renovation and restoration in 1972.

The City remains responsible for maintaining and repairing the exterior structure of the Market House, as well as operating and cleaning the restrooms which will be open to the public 24 hours a day.

Mayor Cohen is reportedly going to make good on his promise to walk the plank the following weekend!
