The main building at the head of Market Street, Market Hall, was erected in 1841. Modeled after a Greek temple, the building houses the Daughters of the Confederacy Museum. Behind Market Hall, four open-air buildings span from Meeting Street to East Bay Street, near the waterfront. The market originally sold food including meat, fish and fresh produce grown locally.
Now, Market Street is the go to site for souvenirs and keepsakes. The hundreds of booths, each selling a variety of gifts and crafts, and the many restaurants lining either side of the market makes this a staple to any trip to Charleston.
