Detail of Top of Capital from Detroit Central Market Building, circa 2003

The Vegetable Shed sheltered vendors and customers at Detroit's City Hall Market (later named Central Market) from 1861 until 1893. Its forty-eight cast-iron columns supported sawn-lumber rafters and a slate roof. The city moved it to Belle Isle in 1894 where it served many purposes including housing a riding academy. When labeled for demolition in 2003, The Henry Ford acquired and dismantled it for reconstruction in Greenfield Village.
