Market Square and historic market/firehouse
Bring a little Newburyport home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A book, a pen and a page of work are ready on the desk, with the small plaque set nearby where there is time to notice its picture. Horse-drawn commerce surrounds Newburyport's market and firehouse building, giving Market Square both a recognizable landmark and the activity of a town center.
Ould Newbury, published in 1896, records Newburyport's Market Square and historic market and firehouse building. Horse-drawn commerce gives the scene an everyday setting. The plate preserves a town-center place where a recognizable public building and the activity around it form one historical view.
The square joins a public building with trading and travel. Make room beside the pen cup or books, keeping the small display within reach of an ordinary day's work at home.
