Boylston Market, Federal era market building in Boston, United States.

The three-story brick market building measured 120 feet in length and 50 feet in width, featuring 12 vendor stalls on the first floor.

Constructed in 1810 under architect Charles Bulfinch, the market stood at the intersection of Boylston and Washington Streets until its demolition in 1887.

The third floor contained a 100-foot hall that served as a performance venue for the Handel and Haydn Society and hosted numerous social gatherings.

The market building incorporated an extension of 40 feet in 1859 and underwent relocation 11 feet back from the street in 1870 without disrupting operations.

The market's belfry survived the 1887 demolition and was transferred to Bunker Hill Breweries before finding its final location at Calvary Methodist Church.
