Abandoned Mansion, Beirut, Nikon D200
"A little hidey-hole. Don't know what it was for. " Abandoned Mansion - Beirut, Lebanon "It turns out the mansion used to be the home of Takieddin el-Solh ( 1908 - 1988) Lebanese Sunni politician who served as Prime Minister from 1973-74, and 1980. The binders were full of voter lists and various political documents. I'm assuming he abandoned the place during the civil war and moved to a more secure location. The house is in the Sunni section, but was within easy artillery distance of the Green Line."
