A gift from an emigre, the clock tower in Nejmeh Square

 

 

Mardiros Altounian (1889-1958) was an Armenian-Lebanese architect. He designed the Lebanese Parliament Building in Beirut (1931), the Abed clock tower (1934), Azounieh sanitorum in Chouf, and Melkonian Benefactors' Mausoleum in Cyprus (with French-Armenian sculptor Leon Mouradoff).[1][2][3] Altounian was French-Armenian. The mausoleum replaced an older wooden trellis monument and was completed in 1956.

Altounian graduated from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, France in 1918.[1]
