太子港的“铁市”是120年来海地的的象征。著名的工程师Baudet Donon & Cie在法国提前预制好构件，铁结构最初设计为开罗的火车站（可能解释了建筑的伊斯兰式尖顶），但因不知名的原因留在了海地，于1891年落成开张。2008年遭受了火灾，摧毁了市场的北大厅，中央部分和南方的一部分又在2010年的地震中饱受蹂躏。地震后一年，2011年的1月11日，重建的建筑落成。
The Iron Market in Port-au-Prince has been an iconic symbol of Haitian community aspiration for over 120 years. Prefabricated in France by the celebrated engineers Baudet Donon & Cie, the iron structure was initially destined to serve as a railway station in Cairo (possibly explaining the building’s Islamic minarets), but for unknown reasons ended up in Haiti where it was inaugurated in 1891. Having suffered extensive fire damage in 2008 which destroyed the Market’s north hall, the central section and part of its southern range suffered severe damage in the devastating 2010 earthquake. The restored structure was inaugurated on January 11 2011, within one year of the earthquake.

John McAslan公司率领一支多种专业的团队，包括几十个当地的手工匠人来修复市场。关键的细节被保留或是修复，修复建筑的新设计的要素结合了当下对抗震需求的理念。这种做法也保证了建造的高质量，降低了未来维护的需求。
John McAslan + Partners led a multi-disciplinary team, which included scores of local artisans, to resurrect the Market. Key details were preserved or repaired where possible and elements of new design in the restoration incorporate current thinking on earthquake resistance and seismic requirements. The practice also ensured high quality manufacture and finishes to reduce any maintenance requirements in the future.

“铁市”是太子港地区居民重要的商业和社交中心，也是海地的文化、历史、建筑地标——国家劫后余生的一个重要象征。已经完全恢复了使用，它形成了新的文化经济发展的基石。
The Iron Market is an important commercial and social hub for the residents of Port-au-Prince and a cultural, historic and architectural landmark in Haiti – a significant symbol for the country’s recovery from devastation. Fully back in use, it forms the cornerstone of a new cultural quarter redevelopment strategy.
