Description: The old City Market (1909) reflects the active civic improvement work in Madison, Wisconsin, at the turn of the century. Like other public projects, the market was intended to enhance the advantages of city life. The building design by Madison architect Robert L. Wright is a unique example of the Prairie School style. Set out on an I-plan, its horizontality is emphasized by wide roof overhangs and by cement stringcourses through bichrome brick walls. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
