Sometimes you just can't translate Spanish to English word for word, and this is one of those times. Both "despues" (after) and "antes" (before) require the word "de" after them when they are followed by a noun, as in the case you cited. Hope this helps.

Hi, Dennis is right, both "antes" and "después" need the preposition "de" when followed by a noun: antes/después de ese edificio. This is explained in session 23, level 1, in case you want to review. Hope this helps!

Despues de is an expression. It isn't to be taken literally as in English
