Covered markets and market halls where food and goods are sold under one roof, built in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in iron, glass and brick in the cities of Europe and North America and long established in older trading cities elsewhere. A building belongs here when its cited article describes it as a market or a market hall. Department stores and shopping centres sit in the retail group instead, and ordinary shops sit in the shophouse group.
