The market was built in 1927. Lea Market was named after a British engineer, Measham Lea, who had extensively served in Karachi. The market is located in a trapezoidal chunk of land. Initially, it had two blocks, with open plan and ashlar stone masonry. Vegetable, fish, meat and other merchandise were retailed inside these blocks. In 1937, two more blocks were added due to the rising demand of consumer goods. In 1940s, the clock tower was added to the market space in plain cement concrete finishes. The tower has over the years become a significant land mark in the area.
