In 1930 the mansion was bought by the Ziade brothers; Joseph a physician and Louis an accomplished lawyer and president of the Aleppo bar association.

The structure was classified as a historic monument by the Lebanese Directorate General of Antiquities and is awaiting funds for appropriation or restoration.

Before the development of the neighborhood, the mansion's west and south facing arched galleries opened up on the dunes of Ramlat az-Zarif, which extended all the way to the Ras Beirut peninsula.

Today, the neighborhood of Zokak el-Blat is composed of heterogeneous buildings with contrasting architectural types and different epochs that characterize Beirut's urbanized peripheral quarters.

The mansion is also characterized by a riwaq on its eastern facade, it is a decorated covered area in a gallery, with broken arches opening onto a garden.
