“Petros Kassab”… Another forgotten house in Suez falls

The residents of the Suez neighborhood woke up to the sound of excavators demolishing “Petros Kassab’s house,” which overlooks the city’s old harbor, bringing down with it more than 200 years of history. Less than a week ago, the local administration in the Suez neighborhood removed an encroachment on the wall of the Masagiri house (less than a kilometer from Kassab’s house). A white brick barrier had been erected on an old wooden fence, hiding the garden that was part of the house, which was the headquarters for receiving mail between the Red Sea ports and Egypt via the Suez Creek.
