Old Tobacco Control building
The Old Tobacco Control Building (Ancien Bâtiment de la Régie des Tabacs) is a historical administrative structure completed in 1932. It was designed by architect Marius Boyer, featuring the Art Deco style typical of the city's commercial and governmental structures of the era. The building played a role in the French Protectorate's administration of the highly regulated tobacco industry. Though now closed or awaiting repurposing, its architectural value was recognized with its designation as a National Material Patrimony site in 2018.
