In 1915, the
permanent building spurred sellers to establish the West Side Market Tenants'
Association, a coalition founded to help maintain the market and organize for
future improvements and additions.
This organization still exists at the Market
today.
Periodic
upgrades accommodated more tenants and maintained and improved the overall
conditions.
A fuller, $1.1 million modernization was undertaken in 1953 to add
lower-level storage areas and upgrade stalls in the arcade.
Another renovation,
this one for $5 million, took place after the Market was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1973.
