[4][5] The halls were designed by Bolesław Miłkowski (construction), Ludwik Panczakiewicz (façade), Apoloniusz Nieniewski, and Władysław Kozłowski.

[6] The complex consisted of two identical market halls, with the length of 95.4 m and width of 42.8 m.[1] Their metal construction was manufactured by company K. Rudzki i S-ka.

[1] Prior to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the halls included around stalls and stores, and remained the largest commercial facility in the city.

Both halls burned down between 5 and 6 August, following the German attacks towards the Piłsudski Square, which were accompanied by airial bombings.

[16] Following the end of the conflict, it was originally decided to not rebuilt the Mier Halls and Iron Gate Square, and instead to build there a public park.

[18] In 1953, it was donated to the Gwardia Militia Sports Club, and the same year, it hosted the European Amateur Boxing Championships, with 5,300 spectators.

[21][20] After 1989, it again begun housing commercial spaces, with a small portion being relegated to the boxing club Gwardia Warsaw.

[22] In the 1950s, at the wall of the West Hall, was placed a Tchorek plaque commemorating the massacre of civilian population in August 1944.

[23] The hall was rebuilt in 1962, in accordance to the project by Zbigniew Pawlak, and in November of that year, again begun being used as a market place.

[29] The East Hall was also renovated in 2017, and began to house a marketplace with local and ecological foods, as well as stores and restaurants.

[30] Outside the building, in the nearby Mier Park, is also placed a monument dedicated to boxing champion Feliks Stamm.
