City Market, also known as Farmers Market, is an historic public market located at 9 East Old Street in Petersburg, Virginia. It was built in 1878–1879 through a land given in trust by merchant Robert Balling. The City Market is an octagonal brick building. It measures 93 feet in diameter and is surrounded by a large metal canopy supported on elaborate iron brackets.[2] [3] The market’s high-rafted interior was originally where perishables were sold, whereas the outside stalls were for produce.[4]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. It is located in the Petersburg Old Town Historic District.
