The Building

Penn Market, also known as Market & Penn Street Farmers' Market, is a historic public market built in 1876 and expanded about 1890. The original section is 60 feet wide and 80 feet long gable roofed brick building. A 40 foot wide rectangular section was added in the expansion and the two sections were joined under a single, moderately pitched gable roof. With the expansion, a five bay wide front was added to unify the building. The front façade features two ornamental circular windows. Attached to the main building are three auxiliary buildings including a Queen Anne style stable.

Vendors

The Market was previously owned and run by the vendors, many of whom are third generation and greater. It is now owned by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of York (RDA), The RDA purchased the market and plans to improve the 150-year-old structure with the goal to keep it around for another 150 years as a source of fresh produce, meats and other products in the city of York. Penn Market operates year round with off street parking.  Supplying an abundance of fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables that are available during the growing season, and fresh locally grown meats and poultry products are offered by local butchers. In addition, there are stands selling prepared foods freshly made with ingredients purchased from other market vendors.
