相信到過西港城的你都知道它是一座商場。但依它的外貌來看，應該都知道它曾受時間洗禮，背後擁有一段頗長的歷史吧！可是有多少人知道呢？
I believe you all know Western Market is a kind of shopping mall. However,
how many of you know the history about it?

現時，西港城建於1906年, 是全港最古老的街市建築物。於 1990 年獲古物古蹟辦事處列為法定古蹟，前身為舊上環街市北座大樓。
At present, the Western Market is the oldest market building surviving
in Hong Kong which completed in 1906. The building was originally the old
Western Market (North Block), which was identified by Antiquities and
Monuments Offices (AMO) as one of the Declared Monuments in 1990.
上環街市北座大樓於 1989 年已停用空置。直至1991年，市區重建局(前土地發展公司) 展開修葺工程，將之改建為傳統行業及手工藝中心，並易名“西港城”。
The market building became vacant. Until 1991, Urban Renewal
Authority (URA) (The former Land Development Corporation) converted the
market into a center of traditional traders, arts and crafts and renamed it as "the
Western Market".
西港城的結構屬英國愛德華式建築風格。此種建築風格於 1901 至 1918 年期間在英國非常風行。
The building is in Edwardian style that was popular in England from 1901
to 1918.
以紅磚及花崗石砌成主要結構，利用石塊色彩及紋理製造多色效果，而角樓外牆附有帶狀磚飾。
Combination use of red bricks and granite band on a granite base and the
'bandaged' brick work to the corner towers gives a polychromatic effect.
為適應香港氣候及配合建築物料的供應，建築物的斜屋頂以中國式捲狀瓦片鋪設，表現香港早期西式建築物所揉合的東方色彩。 In response to the local climate and availability of material, a steep roof is used covered with Chinese pan and roll tiles. The roof displays the combination of oriental features into the early Western style of building in Hong Kong.
