Seattle's Sanitary Public Market was built on First Avenue, near Pike Street, in 1909-1910. Some people said that the building got its name because horses were not allowed inside. The market building was destroyed by fire in 1941, and has since been rebuilt.
<p>This photo shows the Sanitary Public Market in about 1910. At that time, the street level of the building housed a German delicatessen, a candy store, and a shop that sold coffee, tea, butter, and eggs. A horsedrawn wagon waits by the curb.
