Prahran Market - Physical Description 1
The D'Ebro-designed rendered brick building is a large, imposing symmetrical facade incorporating decorative elements derived from the Queen Anne revival. Nothing is left of the 1890s interior of the building except for the barrel-caulted entry way and iron gates. Nothing remains of the rear facade except for the roof.
The 1970s covered market area is a simple, functional, large span steel truss shed. The courtyard section facing Commercial Road includes curved tubular steel and corrugated iron, perforated steel panels and a pastel colour shceme indicative of architectural concerns in the late 1970s and early 1980s.Prahran Market - Local Historical Themes
