Western Market was built in 1906. It used to be a market in the British colonial period. It was assessed by the Antiquities and Monuments Advisory Board and enlisted as a H.K. Declared Monument in 1990, renovated, and turned into a tourist spot in 1991 with shops selling traditional art and craft, clothes, cloth, and other tourist attractions. It was characterized by the 'bandaged brickwork' of the four corner towers. The Chinese Wikipedia classified it as Edwardian architecture and the English Wikipedia classified it as Queen Anne revival style - which is a subcategory under Edwardian.
