The pictures showing the 1920’s and 1940’s context are very interesting. They seems to support the view that the South Asian migration to East Africa (of which the Khoja Ismailis of Nairobi were an important part) was integral to the development in this region. The pictures show how buildings such as this took Nairobi centre to the next step in development.
