It is nice to see the lights on the Stabroek Market. It adds a little needed beauty to our capital city. A piece of interesting history was found on Wikipedia,
“The market was designed and constructed by the Edgemoor Iron Company of Delaware, USA over the period 1880-1881. Construction of the iron and steel structure was completed in 1881 and may be the oldest structure still in use in the city. Designed by an American engineer Nathaniel McKay, this market covers an area of about 80,000 square feet (7,000 m2).
Though the architectural style is elusive, the iron structure and the prominent clock tower is reminiscent of the Victorian era of Great Britain.”
