HILLSBOROUGH MARKET HOUSE
Can its build date be changed from 1784 to circa 1758? (In the "Full Description" section)

Above is a conjectural sketch of what the original market house might have looked like; however, this sketch was likely based on the 1838 Fayetteville Market House and not exactly what the original Hillsborough market structure would have looked like (From "History of the Town of Hillsborough").
The 1768 Sauthier map seems to indicate it was a "fourquare" structure with a pyramidal roof. It can't be discerned if it was a one or two-story structure from Sauthier, but what it looked like was something similar to the image below, but perhaps simplified and built from wood and without the shed overhang around the first floor.
