Market House (Portland, Maine)
The Market House of Portland, Maine, was located in what was then known as Market Square or Haymarket Square between 1825 and 1888, when it was demolished. In 1833, the building was modified to become Portland's first city hall. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which now stands in its place, was dedicated in 1891.
