Pine Residence, French ambassador residence in Horsh district, Beirut, Lebanon
The Pine Residence features a raised basement, ground floor with dining area, and upper floor containing multiple game rooms within its two-story structure.
General Henri Gouraud declared the establishment of Greater Lebanon from the residence porch on September 1, 1920, marking a pivotal moment in Lebanese history.
The building combines architectural elements from multiple designers including Bahjat Abdel Nour, Hussein al-Ahdab, and Youssef Aftimos, who worked together on its construction.
The residence functions as the official home of the French ambassador to Lebanon and opens to visitors only during specific scheduled occasions.
The structure, initially planned as a casino, served as a military hospital during World War I before becoming a diplomatic residence.
