Cleveland architectural firm Hubbell and Benes was contracted to create the new indoor space and, after nearly a decade of planning and construction, the current West Side Market building was finished in 1912 at a cost of nearly $680,000.
The Neo-Classical/Byzantine building is a brick construct with a
large interior concourse that provides nearly 100 stalls for sellers, and
an 85-stall outdoor produce arcade that wraps around the side and rear of
the main building.
In addition, the building has a large clock tower, which was
easily visible from most of Ohio City in the building's early days.
