Yacoubian Building (Cairo)

34 on Talaat Harb Street, Cairo,[2] the Art Deco style edifice was named after its Lebanese-Armenian owner and businessman Hagop Yacoubian.

[citation needed] The building served as a residence for Cairo's upper-class during the Kingdom of Egypt, home to cotton millionaires, members of the royal family, and foreign nationals.

During and after the 1952 revolution the building was used as a domicile for Egyptian military officers and their wives.

By the 1970s the building was transferred to mixed use, including shopfronts and offices.

[5] A larger building, located on Talaat Harb Square was used for the exteriors.
