Stabroek Market
Edgemoor Iron Company (engineering and fabrication) · Georgetown, Guyana · 1881
Stabroek Market combines a large iron-and-steel trading hall with a prominent clock tower in central Georgetown. Completed in 1881, the building was engineered and fabricated by the Edgemoor Iron Company. Its repeated structural bays support a practical market programme while giving the institution a recognizable public frontage. The contrast between the tower's civic image and the dense activity of the trading spaces is central to the experience. The market should be read together with the streets, transport and waterfront activity around it. Visiting: A working public market. General market access is free during trading hours. Keep to public areas.
