The Convent of St. Paul of Saigon was designed by Boutier, a French missionary. This paper examines the convent at the time of its construction from photographs, drawings, and historical documents to clarify its architectural features.
As a result, it is recognised that the two annexes and the chapel, which existed from the beginning of the Convent, have changed in their detailed design over the years. Whereas its verandah, a significant feature of the convent building, has undergone no significant changes. This building is seemingly colonial architecture incorporating countermeasures for climate by Boutier.
