    The Édouard Aka house was built in the 1920s, and at the time formed a homogeneous whole with the Treich-Laplène and Borro houses, around a regular curved square open to the lagoon.

    The house is supposed to have belonged to one of the first Ivorian executives of the colonial period, a logger who would have westernized his name in "Blackson" in order to have easier access to credits from European commercial banks, in particular the English bank.

    On July 3, 2012, the France district of Grand-Bassam, in which the house is located, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Edouard Aka house is listed as a "remarkable heritage".
