Few market fixtures were as specialized as a basin built to hold freshwater fish for wholesale sale. This drawing presents one in two views: a plan from above showing its footprint and layout, and a section cut through it to reveal its depth and construction. Live fish had to survive until buyers arrived, so these basins depended on a steady supply of clean water, and a drawing like this shows how that water was held and drained. Among the market and farm-related structures on this board, it documents how the practical need to keep fish alive shaped the design of the space.
