With origins of the land dating back to 1840, the West Side Market is Cleveland’s oldest publicly owned market. The West Side Market houses over 100 specialized vendors of meats, poultry, seafood, cheeses, spices and more. The centerpiece of the market, the yellow brick markethouse with an interior concourse, was designed by the architects Benjamin Hubbel and W. Dominick Benes who also designed other famous buildings in Cleveland, such the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Wade Memorial Chapel in Lakeview Cemetery. The markethouse was dedicated and opened to the public in 1912. Its 137 foot clock tower has stood as a Cleveland landmark for over a century. One of the country’s largest public markets, it will be the site of a fusion of food and art with John Riepenhoff’s Cleveland Curry Kojiwurst special sausage, an original FRONT commissioned product, being featured in various collaborations with vendors and restaurateurs throughout the three month period.
