Eastern Market is officially set to reopen to the public on June 26, a little over two years after it was gutted by a devastating fire. Lucky dog Flickr contributor erin_m, aka local photog Erin McCann, who has been documenting the market’s progress since the fire, managed to get a look inside the building on Monday night as crews work to put the finishing touches in before next Friday. She’s posted her entire photo set here. Erin writes:
A very, very nice security guard gave me a tour of the rebuilt Eastern Market tonight.
He took me from the basement to the second-floor market manager office, which was left untouched by both the fire and the construction workers, and he shared lots of amazing tidbits. (He’s convinced the place is haunted.)
The doors are open most evenings as construction crews finish up. They’re perfectly willing to let you peek inside, and if you catch him or someone else in a slow moment, you might luck out and get a tour.
