Roanoke City Market

With the Roanoke City Market set to open Labor Day weekend, a reporter for the Roanoke Times was given a sneak peak at the nearly completed building. Cunningham | Quill Architects has worked on the historic preservation and adaptive reuse of the historic market building for the last two years.
