an imposing French colonial building in the old French Quarter on Street 13, served its intended purpose until the Khmer Rouge took over in 1975 & turned it into a warehouse for storing a variety of commodities & munitions. The elegant pastel yellow & white structure suffered much damage during the conflict, but after extensive renovations, it reopened in 2004 with two extra wings. Surrounded by other colonial buildings in varying states of charming disrepair, the high-ceilinged building is in keeping with its contemporaries in any European city.
