Description
"Originally designed by architect Timoteo Luberza de San Martín and modeled after the Paris market in France, the building has been broadly remodeled many times throughout its life. During the 1941 remodeling, the original structure, which was not art deco, was enhanced with an art deco façade with plans designed by Pedro Méndez Mercado. The phenomenon of this building, unique in Puerto Rico, is that despite its enlargements, its interior still preserves the orginal structure. Through its remodelings, its facade has shown several architectural styles, including neoclassical and art deco". --Description from Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Arquitectura Histórica, Plaza del Mercado Isabel II.
