Ganamet House, Colonial house in Grand-Bassam, Côte d'Ivoire.

The Ganamet House features a neoclassical exterior with ionic columns, plaster pilasters, and a full-length balcony with openwork reinforced cement railings.

Built in 1920, this residence belonged to a Gold Coast national before being acquired by Mr. Ganamet, a Lebanese-Syrian merchant in colonial Grand-Bassam.

The house structure follows Middle Eastern residential patterns with a central hallway on each floor and symmetrical room arrangements on both sides.

The ground floor contains shops and storage areas, while the upper floors are accessed through a staircase located at the rear of the facade.

The mansard roof covering the house represents an uncommon architectural element in the Grand-Bassam region of Côte d'Ivoire.
