The Old Port became in the post-war period the most important stake of the Reconstruction in Marseille. Following the demolitions of 1943, the area is undergoing a modernization to which the architect Eugène Beaudouin had been thinking since 1941. In a highly controversial context, Fernand Pouillon built the wharf buildings in collaboration with André Devin, under the supervision of chief architect Auguste Perret. The east block, completed in 1954, comprises 64 dwellings with shops on the ground floor under the raised arcades. Combining traditional know-how, innovation in constructive techniques and respect for the site (alignment with the City Hall), the building has a hundred meters long stone elevation of the Pont du Gard. The facades were rehabilitated in 1996 following the protection of the building.
