This remnant of the wall from the old market with archway and masonry detail has always intrigued me. It stands alone out in the open, in the park area to the west of the main entrance of the City Market. I know that it was preserved probably because of it’s historical significance and rich detail, but don’t know enough about the old market building to understand where and how it was actually used. It definitely makes the park there a little classier though.
Paris has got the Arc de Triomphe. And so I’m calling this the Arc de Marche deVille. (pardon my french) Sounds a little more World Class? Although I know most of us Hoosiers would probably just prefer to call it The City Market Arch.
