The building at the Nupe Divisional Secretariat Division has been used as a market during the British occupation in Matara. Built to be in the shape of the English letter ‘T’ this building has been constructed on pillars and tiled with round tiles. A timber portico about 30 ft. broad and 100 ft. long is in the middle of the building. A peculiar feature is the three small roofs above the main roof.
