Quincy Market is a historic building and shopping center in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. It was first constructed in 1826.

Design

The exterior of the building is largely traditional New England granite, with red brick interior walls. The east and west facades exhibit a strong Roman style, with strong triangular pediments and Ionic columns. In contrast, the sides of the hall are more modern and American, with rows of rectangular windows.

The building's shape is a long rectangle, providing for a long hallway down its center line. On the roof are eight evenly spaced chimneys, and a copper-clad dome in the center of the building, which covers an open common seating area and the major side entrances.
