The known history of the family home dates back to the year 1910, when the property was acquired by Mr. Ahmed Maâmouri, then a young translator for the Beylical administration, freshly graduated from the prestigious Sadiki College in Tunis. At the time, it was a modest structure—though built in solid masonry—located at the center of a plot on the outskirts of the town. It was known as the "Villa Marine", and had belonged to a family of French colonists—a name that still appears in the city's land registry records.
This purchase marked a step up in social status.
The house has been structured and developed throughout the last century and into the current one.
The family includes noteworthy figures with strong political leanings, distinguished by their education and cultural background, including:
Ahmed El Maâmouri
Sarra Maâmouri
Mahmoud Maâmouri
