About Columbia Historic Market House

The Columbia Market House was constructed in 1869 on the site of an earlier open air market. The design of the Columbia Market House is attributed to Isaac Hobbs and Samuel Sloan, with Michael Liphart as the builder. The large open interior space is uniquely spanned with arched Howe trusses. These cross-braced wood trusses, reinforced with iron tension rods, are uncommon in buildings, but were a popular design feature of railroad bridges in the 1860s. The Columbia Borough funded construction of the Market House, an anomaly at a time when many of the market buildings in the state were privately funded. The Borough continues their support, investing in reimagining the market for 21st century commerce. In close proximity to the Susquehanna River and Columbia Crossings, imagine your rehearsal dinner or reception just a block away at this historic site. The space will be sure to wow your guests.

Awesome place for a party! - An Eventective User

Chris is laid back and super easy to work with. Very responsive with any questions we had. This was a GREAT spot for my son’s first birthday bash! Thankful for a pleasant experience:)

A PERFECT event space! - An Eventective User

We had a formal/end of the year, dance event. Chris was so helpful throughout the planning, the set up/take down, and the actual event. The event space is just gorgeous, very spacious. My organization had a great time.

Rehearsal Dinner - An Eventective User from Georgia

We had the best experience with Columbia Market House for our rehearsal dinner! The venue is such a fun, open, airy setting for the event. The accommodations for caterer were well placed and the site manager was a dream to work with! He was available to address every question or concern that we had. If you have not been to this location before I highly recommend it- good handicapped entrances and parking too!
