VIDEO/PHOTOS: It has been two years since a devastating fire burned down the historic brick building at the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg. Flames had engulfed the historic brick building on North 3rd Street in the early morning hours of July 10, 2023. Firefighters worked through the night to keep the fire under control, saving the other half of the market. No injuries occurred as a result of the fire, and it was later learned that the devastation was caused by an electrical malfunction in a ceiling fan that had been installed in 2017. At the time, city and state officials united under one goal โ rebuilding the Broad Street Market brick building, which had been a staple in the City of Harrisburg since 1860. Harrisburg Mayor Wanda Williams was on the scene back in 2023, saying that rebuilding that damaged portion of the market would be a priority.
