Mile End - Saint Jean Baptiste Market
of Rachel Street and St. Laurent Street offers villagers fruits and vegetables, meat and fish.
Built in 1870, the original market precedes the installation of small street corner grocers because urbanization makes residences not too far away. The building
illustrated in the photograph is a more modern version dating from 1906.
The floor houses the town hall and a theater that hosts public assemblies or political, theater, as well as sporting wrestling or boxing events.
After a fire in 1928, the market was rebuilt in 1933. The ground floor houses the butcher's stalls and there are fishmongers in the basement. In time, competition from new supermarkets as well as changing habits of consumption, the market is finally demolished in 1966. Today there is the park of the Americas.
