The greatest single expansion of the market district began in 1823, when Mayor Quincy launched a massive and controversial urban renewal project just east of Faneuil Hall. The rapid growth of the town demanded yet more merchant quarters and meeting space, prompting the city to engage Charles Bulfinch to enlarge the combination town hall and market in 1805. Faneuil Hall, named for its benefactor and designed by the Scottish-born painter and architect John Smibert, opened two years later. Bostonians held steadfast against a regulated market system with fixed locations until 1740, when Peter Faneuil, a wealthy Boston merchant, offered to pay for construction of a combined market house and town hall. Door-to-door peddlers rounded-out the city's food marketing and distribution system. Quincy's Market also tells the story of the colonial origins of the marketplace, its major expansion under Mayor Josiah Quincy (1772-1864) in the 1820s, and the gradual decline and deterioration of the market until it was redeveloped.įood marketing in Boston had its origins around the Town Dock, where merchants conducted open-air sales for the convenience of the colonists. Quincy's Market is an account of this phenomenon in Boston where in 1976 the Rouse Company adapted the magnificent granite buildings and cobblestone concourses of the historic Faneuil Hall Market into space for specialty shops, restaurants, pushcarts, and fast-food stalls.
Since the 1970s, American cities have renovated their historic marketplaces in an effort to revitalize public space, stimulate economic growth, and improve the supply of fresh food.
