Detail of the Entrance of the Iron Market
Note:
Damaged in the January 12, 2010 earthquake rebuilt by John McAslan & Partners. Called Marche de fer [Iron Market] "Built in France, the main structure was originally destined to be a railway station in Cairo, but the deal fell through and so the President of Haiti Florvil Hyppolite had it shipped over in 1891, and there it stood until it was destroyed by the earthquake of 2010." to know more Click Here and Also Here.
