about the french market place
The complex of shops, offices and dining opened in West Hollywood, California in 1973. It soon became a beloved venue which provided an unparalleled safe space for business, social gathering, community building and human rights activism until its closing in 2015.
Before the building is razed for redevelopment, Team Lavender will collect stories, memories, photographs, and artifacts which will be digitized and curated to document the significant role the French Market Place played in shaping West Hollywood and the gay rights movement. Personal items and recollections, business promotions, and ephemera from the French Quarter restaurant and the surrounding small businesses such as Dorothy’s Surrender and Baby Jane will be included in the collection.
