This Art Deco building by architect/engineer TY Lee began construction in 1936. Central Market was layouted to align with the street pattern.

The stepped entrance design as well as the strong moulded frieze, which runs along just below the roofline, is repeated on the sides. The ornamentation in the form of the wrought iron panels of interlocking rings, above the doorways.
