Civic Pride
Asheville's central square has long served the
needs of government and commerce. From
1892 to 1926 a massive city hall with a bell
tower dominated the east end. The building
housed police and fire departments in addition
to municipal offices. In stalls downstairs
African-American and white merchants
operated a public market.
Marker is at the intersection of Market Street and Collage Street on Market Street.
