I took the pictures in 1990 and NewMarket was already defunct. It was mostly empty when I strolled through it with my Sears branded Pentax SLR. I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking when I shot these photographs. Maybe I thought it would be for photo reference for some future illustration job although I don&#8217;t know what assignment\u00a0 would require shots of a shuttered mall.<\/p>\n<p>This is what <em>Wikipedia<\/em> had to say about NewMarket:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 1975, a modern steel-and-glass retail and restaurant complex called NewMarket opened east of the historic market between Pine and Lombard Streets. The center struggled to attract customers and was essentially vacant by 1988. An early 1990s revival as a cabaret entertainment district was short-lived. The complex was demolished in 2002 and its site was subsequently redeveloped.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a title=\"NewMarket circa 1990 - 002\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/willceau\/54184254567\/in\/album-72157719803124628\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54184254567_45938e8d17_z.jpg?resize=640%2C453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NewMarket circa 1990 - 002\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>1975 sounds about right judging from the looks of the place.
