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

Ganamet House is a colonial building in Grand-Bassam with a neoclassical facade featuring ionic columns, plaster pilasters, and a full-length balcony with openwork reinforced cement railings. The ground floor holds shops and storage areas, while upper floors are reached by a staircase at the rear.

Built in 1920, the house originally belonged to a Gold Coast resident before being purchased by Mr. Ganamet, a Lebanese-Syrian merchant in colonial Grand-Bassam. Its ownership change reflected the shifting commercial and residential patterns in the town.

The house blends European and Middle Eastern design in how rooms are organized around a central hallway on each floor, with matching layouts on both sides. This arrangement reflects the living customs the owner brought from his homeland.

The house is in ruins and cannot be entered, so it is seen only from boulevard du gouverneur Bertin, on the eastern edge of the commercial zone. It stands opposite the Varlet house, which allows a comparison of the two facades. The rear service courtyard, with its kitchens, water points and stores, is not visible from the street.

The mansard roof is a rare feature in the Grand-Bassam area and stands out from the flat or simple rooflines typical of other local buildings. This architectural detail shows the owner's desire to blend European building styles with his home.
