The 100 year old building in Disney Springs

DisneyParks Blog has given guests little peeks into Disney Springs before its big debut later this month!

This week they have given us a look behind the storyline for one of the buildings in Disney Springs!

The main story for this is that this place is a turn of the century town that sprung up around Disney  Springs, thus the name!

Personally i love this theme and idea for the new version of Downtown Disney!

This week they have shared details on The Market Building!



DisneyParks Blog explained the story behind the Market Building:

according to the Disney Springs storyline, was constructed in the year 1913. Originally there were two identical market stall structures that faced each other. A few years later a metal roof with large brick gable ends were added, connecting the two structures together into one building.
Seat wall planters with palms, a bronze fountain and chandeliers are a few of the features that were added to the interior of the building.


Imagineers apparently used the "American Bond" pattern which was common for structures built in florida during the late 1800s and 1900s. 

In order to enhance the pattern, the header brick bands are a deeper red color and protrude out a half inch. The brick corbeling and layered arches create visual interest and authenticity. 

 if you look closely at the entry ways, you will notice eight large, iron corner guards fabricated by “Buena Vista Steel.”

Disney Springs is to debut its stores and such later this month on May 15th!
