A long, covered hall with steel arches running overhead gives this view its sense of enormous interior space, a feature that set it apart from the timber barns and open sheds common across the farm country of its day. Iron and steel framing let builders span wide floors without interior posts, which suited markets where wagons, crates and crowds needed clear passage. Such halls were built to shelter produce sales through rain and heat, and their lofty trusses let light and air move through the room. Worth noticing is how the repeated arches draw the eye down the length of the building, a reminder that the market was as much an engineering achievement as a place of trade.
