About Eastern Market:
Eastern Market has been a landmark in the Capitol Hill community by providing a neighborhood market for over a century and a gathering place for all of DC residents and visitors alike. The market was completed in 1873 and designed by Adolph Cluss, a prominent local architect who designed the Franklin and Sumner Schools as well as many other post-Civil War buildings in the District of Columbia. Eastern Market was built to provide a supply of goods to urban residents and act as anchor for residents and a magnet to draw new people. Eastern Market was intended to reshape the city's image and became the first city-owned market to be built under the public works program of the 1870s. Eastern Market is located at 7th and C Sts., SE, across from the Eastern Market Metro Station. It is open to the public every day of the week except for Mondays.
