American Legation of Tangier Morocco
November 1, 2008 | Tangier, Morocco | Vetting explained
A gift to the U.S. in 1821 from Moroccan Sultan Moulay Suliman, it is
the first piece of property acquired abroad by the U.S. government.
The
original structure, a stone building of the 18th century, was
incorporated into an enlarged complex surrounding an attractive
courtyard.
During the first half of the 19th century a reception room
was constructed over the narrow Rue d'Amerique.
After 1891 a further
expansion took place with the construction of a 3-story building along
the same street and connected to the reception area.
