A 1980 view down Market Street of a busy Quincy Market in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The modern City Hall is at the rear. The original Quincy Market is the historic building on the left in this view. It was constructed in 1824–26 and named after Mayor Josiah Quincy, who organised its construction. As the central building of Faneuil Hall Marketplace, ‘Quincy Market’ is often used to describe the whole area. This includes the North Market (right in this view). Faneuil Hall is pictured rear left. It is a popular and busy lunchtime spot for downtown workers – a vintage 1980s photograph.

As the central building of Faneuil Hall Marketplace, ‘Quincy Market’ is often used to describe the whole area. This includes the North Market (right in this view) and South Market buildings that flank the main Quincy Market, the historic Faneuil Hall lying at the west end, and two smaller curved buildings. It is a popular and busy lunchtime spot for downtown workers. Street vending space is abundant with stalls selling food, trinkets, gifts, and curios. Faneuil Hall is pictured rear left. This image is from an old American amateur colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1980s photograph.
