This research paper focuses on this repertoire in order to expose its architectural and urban characteristics. After setting out these buildings� aesthetics and functional values, as well as its negative impacts, guidelines in favor of its preservation are proposed to assist the repertoire�s interests.

The purpose of this investigation is to recognize these buildings as witnesses of the development of modernity in the Old Town, an important patrimony that is threaten with disappearance.
