Moulay Suleiman
In 1821, Sultan Moulay Suleiman gave the United States its first diplomatic property, the site of the American Legation. Reconstruction began in 1848, when the new US Consul arrived to find the building "almost in ruins," possibly as a result of the French bombardment of Tangier in 1844.
