[2] Bronx Terminal Market is just south of Yankee Stadium under the Major Deegan Expressway, on a wide road named Exterior Street.

As early as 1914, Cyrus C. Miller, the former Bronx Borough President, had advocated the creation of a terminal market in New York City.

During his tenure, he enacted a program constructing various markets to provide a home for the city's numerous pushcart vendors.

Designed by Samuel A. Oxhandler with John D. Churchill and Albert W. Lewis, the buildings were originally painted light yellow.

[4] On December 21, 1935, La Guardia appeared at the market to proclaim a citywide ban on the sale, display, and possession of artichokes.

After a series of protracted legal battles with the City, Buntzman sold his interest to the Related Companies for $42.5 million in 2004.

[7] The nearby 350-cell Bronx County Jail, designed by Joseph Freedlander was built as a Works Progress Administration project and opened in 1937.

It closed in 2000 and was later acquired by the Related Companies, who demolished it to make way for the new Bronx Terminal Market; some architectural details of the building were saved.

[1] In September 2012, Staples announced that it would close 30 stores in the United States, including the Bronx Terminal Market location.
