New Market, as it was originally known, later also known as Headhouse (or Head House) Square, is an historic street market in the Society Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Established in 1745 and named "New Market" to distinguish it from the established market on High (now Market) St. , it was used well into the 19th century. Two rows of brick pillars support a gable roof and arched ceiling over an open market area. The area features cobblestone streets and a park.

  • New Market, as it was originally known, later also known as Headhouse (or Head House) Square, is an historic street market in the Society Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Established in 1745 and named "New Market" to distinguish it from the established market on High (now Market) St. , it was used well into the 19th century. Two rows of brick pillars support a gable roof and arched ceiling over an open market area. The area features cobblestone streets and a park. The square includes a stone building, the Headhouse, a former firehouse built in 1804, the oldest in the United States, now used as a community center. It also features one of the oldest continually run farmer's markets in the nation. The market structure, known as the Shambles, was demolished in 1950 but rebuilt in the early 1960s. A farmer's market is offered on Saturdays and Sundays from the first week in May through the week before Christmas, from 10 am to 2 pm, selling locally grown produce and other farm products. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966. It was restored in 1994 by the Head House Conservancy, a non-profit organization.
