The Carroll Public Market, also known as the Yamhill Street Market, was a fresh produce market that operated for twenty years on the sidewalks of SW Yamhill Street between First and Fifth avenues in Portland, Oregon, during the early decades of the 20th century. The organizational structure of the market eventually included 212 stalls and over 400 vendors who offered pricing by negotiation. One writer characterized the atmosphere as "loosely organized chaos."[1] The market was dissolved and replaced by the Portland Public Market in 1934.
