The building's most striking feature is its pair of steep gabled roofs, which rise above a wide cobbled street and mark it as a covered market hall rather than an ordinary shop row. Markets like this were the commercial heart of many European and North American towns, where farmers and traders gathered on set days to sell grain, produce, livestock and goods. The cobbles and open frontage suggest a town square where carts and crowds came and went, and the large gables point to a structure built to shelter a busy trading floor. Such halls often outlasted the trade that filled them, so the picture also records a working life of the town that has since changed.
