The Edifício da Associação dos Empregados no Comércio da Bahia (in English: Bahia's Trade Employees' Association Building) or Palacete do Tira Chapéu (Tira Chapéu Palace) [1][2] is a building inaugurated on December 30, 1917, designed to host the Trade Employees' Association (AECBA), located at the corner of Chile Street and Tira Chapéu Street, in Salvador, capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia.

[6][9] Construction work on the building began in June 1916 and was completed at its inauguration on December 30, 1917, maintaining an architectural style focused on Baroque.

[13] The restoration project was commissioned by Danish architect Adam Kurdahl and is inspired by two Spanish references: the Market of San Miguel in Madrid and El Nacional in Barcelona.

[1][13] When announced in 2018, it was expected to be completed in 2020, however, in 2020 it was revised to 2022 due to the recovery and restoration process, as well as raising funding for the commercial facilities.

[15][16][17] According to the director of IPAC, Frederico Mendonça, the listing "is beneficial, because when it is officially recognized, the property starts to have priority in restoration funding lines, whether municipal, state, federal, or even international.
