Description
In 1961 the Diamond Market, two buildings connected by an elevated foot bridge, was demolished to make way for Market Square Park. The Park, split by Forbes Avenue (formerly Diamond Street), included brick pavements, grass, and trees, and offered office workers and visitors a place to gather and occasionally enjoy public events.
