A super renovated palace next to the Red Cross premises. If it is considered to be the residence of Anastasia Sursock, née Dagher, historians believe it is a mistake. Probably built around 1890 by Dimitri Gergis Baz, a wealthy marble merchant, his descendants lived there until 1956. It was then bought by Lady Yvonne Sursock Cochrane (granddaughter of Moussa and Anastasia Sursock and mother of the current owner Mr. Alfred Sursock Cochrane). In short, a typical Beirut family history and heritage!

With all my respect, this palace was never the residence of mme Anastasia Dagher Sursock. It was built at the end of the 19th century (around 1890) Dimitri Gergis Baz, marble, on the ground his mother Nour Dagher and before blending in Adma Gehchan. This Palace has remained the property of the Baz family until 1942 when it sold it to Mr Tannous Haddad. From 1942 to 1956, the descendants of Dimitri Baz (my grandmother and its brothers and sisters) continued to occupy it as a tenant. It is only in 1956 that Lady Yvonne Sursock Cochrane (little daughter Espumoso and Anastasia Sursock and mother of the current owner m. Alfred Sursock Cochrane) acquired this palace and later vida places of its occupants.
N.B: - all this information is documented and after contacts with m. Alfred Sursock it had promise to correct marble plateau that it on the façade of the palace and you took information.
- According to the oldest, the residence of the family Anastasia Dagher was not in this location and can not bordering current rue Gouraud.
