People's National Assembly building (Algiers)

It was designed in 1934 and inaugurated in 1951 as a new city hall for the Greater Algiers, and repurposed following the country's independence in 1962.

[3] In 1934, an architectural competition was held to build a new city hall for the expanding metropolis of Algiers.

[1] The competition's winners, the Paris-based brothers Edouard and Jean Niermans [fr] in a team with local architect Jean-Louis Ferlié, designed a compact building in late Art Deco or Stripped Classicism style.

The building was substantially completed in 1941 but was then used in the wartime context by civilian and military departments of the French state, which only returned it to the Algiers municipality in 1945.

Given the post-war scarcity, the finishing works were protracted and not entirely completed at the time of official inauguration in 1951.
