Le March? de Saint John

English

Built between 1874 ad 1876, the Saint John City market narrowly escaped the fire that swept through the town in 1877 and stands today as a rare and distinguished example of a 19th century market building. Designed in the Second Empire style by New Brunswick architects McKean and Fairweather, the market building contains shops on the ground level, offices above, and, through the passageway, a long, open market hall. An impressive feature of the hall is the exposed timber framing, with its queen post trusses supported by cast-iron columns. The market has been in continuous use since its construction.


French

Construit entre 1874 et 1876, le march? a ?chapp? de justesse ? l?incendie qui a ravag? la ville en 1877. Rare et bel exemple de halles de XIXᵉ si?cle, ce b?timent de style Second Empire est l?oeuvre de architectes McKean et Fairweather, du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il abrite des boutiques au rez-de-chauss?e et des bureaux aux ?tages sup?rieurs. Une galerie d?bouche sur la halle, longue et d?gag?e. On remarquera la charpente apparente en bois, compos?e de fermes ? deux poin?ons, soutenues par les piliers de fonte. Le marche a toujours ?t? en usage depuis sa construction.
