The building was constructed between 1900 and 1907 by the Iveagh Trust with financial backing from Edward Guinness, the first Earl of Iveagh. It served as an important trading hub for the community until its closure in the 1990s.
The market features decorative keystones representing different trading nations, including a carved face said to represent the first Earl of Iveagh.
The building is currently not accessible to visitors and has not been in public use since the 1990s. Extensive restoration work will be needed before it can be reopened for any future use.
The building features decorative keystones carved to represent different trading nations, reflecting its international commercial significance. Ownership disputes involving Dublin City Council, Lord Iveagh, and private developers continue through ongoing legal proceedings.
