Findlay Market House - 1801 Race Street

Founded in 1852, the Findlay Market House is the last survivor of nine historic public markets founded in Cincinnati. Today’s Market House is enclosed and features modern refrigeration, unlike the original construction from over 170 years ago, which was an open air market. However, one element of the original construction has stood the test of time—the red wrought-iron framing.
