Cultural and Institutional Buildings

The Old Dispensary, also known as the Ithnashiri Dispensary, is a historic building on the seafront of Stone Town, Zanzibar, on Mizingani Road roughly halfway between the Palace Museum and the harbour. It takes its name from its use as a dispensary for much of the first half of the 20th century.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
