The Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies (TALIM) is the only historic landmark of the United States located abroad, designated as such by the U. S. Department of the Interior. From 1821 until 1956, the U.S. diplomatic mission to Morocco was located here in the old walled Medina of Tangier. With the end of the French and Spanish Protectorates in 1956, all diplomatic missions moved from Tangier to the capital, Rabat. The American Legation building continued as the Consulate General for another five years until a new Consulate General was built outside the old Medina. For the next fourteen years, the historic building served as an Arabic language school for American diplomats and then as the Peace Corps training center.

In 1975 the Peace Corps moved out. By then the Old American Legation (as it is known in Tangier) was in a sad state of repair. Concerned for its fate, the Consul General in Tangier (Harland H. Eastman), the Deputy Chief of Mission in Rabat (Carlton S. Coon) and the Public Affairs Officer in Rabat (James N. Tull) joined forces to restore as much of the building as possible by July 4, 1976. No funds were available so repairs over the winter were largely the work of Consulate General. Welcome assistance came from Embassy Marines who drove up on days off to paint, The Kenitra Naval Base donated paint and other materials and several Tangier residents contributed funds. Twenty-five of the Legation’s rooms, furnished with maps, prints and paintings donated by Donald Angus and Marguerite McBey, were ready in time for America’s bicentennial. The Legation Museum officially opened on July 2, 1976.
