Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Farmers Market, showing Gilmore Field and parked automobiles, ca.1953. The Farmers Market, comprised of a series of clapboard buildings, can be seen at center. The market is surrounded on all sides by a paved parking lot filled with automobiles. Several pedestrians and a sign reading "U.S. Post Office" stand on the paved sidewalk which borders the parking lot in the foreground. Gilmore field is visible in the left background, behind a row of trees.
