This Bromley Map section from 1891 shows the square block containing Market, Monroe, Pike and Cherry. What's visible is PS 36, Hecker's Groton Flour Mills, a lumber yard (on the site that would be PS 177), a tea warehouse and a sailor's home. The area was very industrial. The next section over East would show a coal yard, a marble works, a soap factory, a rope factory and a utensil's factory. Many horse stables would be visible as well. On this map Market Street would be the dividing line between the 7th Ward (to the East) and the 4th Wards.
