Hollins Market is the name of the oldest existing public market building in the city of Baltimore, Maryland.The market, located at 26 South Arlington Street just west of downtown Baltimore, dates back to 1835. In that year the city granted the petition of a piano manufacturer named Joseph Newman "and others" to erect market house at their own expense [http://www.baltimoremd.com/arabber/baltmars.html] on land donated by banker George B. Dunbar. That structure blew down in a windstorm in 1838; the market was rebuilt and opened the following year. The market was expanded in 1864 [http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/baltimore/b3.htm] through a $23,000 appropriation by the city [http://www.baltimoremd.com/arabber/baltmars.html] to construct the Italianate addition.

The Hollins Market building is at the center of a neighborhood that also bears the same name. It is the geographical heart of what many refer to as Sowebo, and on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, is the center of an arts festival called [http://www.soweboarts.org/festival.html Sowebohemian Arts Festival] . Hollins Market is open Tuesday through Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
