Palace of Annan and Tonkin

Henri Vildieu, architect

This palace represented the protectorates of Annan and Tonkin, which, along with Cochin China, Laos, and Cambodia, were part of the recently formed federation of Indochina. Annan, Tonkin, and Cochin China were later united to become Vietnam. Architect Henri Vildieu was the adjutant-architect for civil buildings of Indochina in Saigon. The building reproduces the principal porch of the pagoda of Quan-Yen.
