PAGE 6 THE VOICE OCTOBER, 1976 student research for a term paper at Fayetteville State University has led to the publication of a book about Fayetteville’s Market House. Author of the 32-page booklet is Patricia Ann Leahy, a resident of the Grays Creek community. Titled THE MARKET HOUSE OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, it has been published by Information Services of Fayetteville and printed by Worth Printing Co. Mrs. Leahy was attending Fayetteville State in 1975 when her interest was aroused by the question of whether the Market House had ever been used as a slave market. She did extensive research on the subject and wrote a term paper setting forth her fin dings. Since her graduation from Fayetteville State, Mrs. Leahy has done more research about the Market House. Using her term paper as a basis, she made revisions, added her new information and completed the manuscript for THE MARKET HOUSE OF FAYETTEVILLE. Mrs. Leahy traces the settlement and early history of the Fayetteville area and sets the completion of the Market House, then known as the State House, here in 1789. The General Assembly of North Carolina, meeting at the State House in 1789, ratified the Constitution of the United States and chartered the University of North Carolina. In the 1790s the State House was temporarily used as a theater and in 1817 the under part of the building was officially designated as the town’s market place, where produce from farms in the area was sold. The State House was destroyed in a fire that swept throu^ the downtown area in 1831. It was rebuilt the following year and is basically the structure that now stands in the center of Fayetteville’s business district. Mrs. Leahy has deter mined from her research that the Market House was never used as a slave distribution center, although some slaves were sold there “whenever estates were divided or when personal property which in cluded slaves, was sold under mortgage at public auction.” In addition to the history of the Market House, Mrs. Leahy’s book contains a news story about the dedication of the building in 1974 as a national landmark, a digest of important facts about the Market House, a table showing the number of slaves sold in the market place, several letters of commentary on the historic building, and a bibliography.
