One of Pittsburgh’s busiest and most popular community centers can be found in the South Side Market House.

The original market house on this spot was built in 1893 and rebuilt in 1915 after a major fire. For decades, it served as the food store and meeting place for the Polish, Ukrainians, Italians, Germans, Serbians, Croatians, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Russians, Irish and others who immigrated to the South Side. Over time, it evolved into a full-fledged community center. During the Depression years, youth dances were held on the second floor to help keep kids off the street.

In 1978, the building had been remodeled to house senior citizen programs, pre-school programs, athletic events and community gatherings.
