Adams Arcade. Then and now

Adams Arcade was opened after four years of snail-paced construction in 1959, a whole two dozen years before Sarit Centre became the largest mall in East and Central Africa.

Adams Arcade, previously called ‘Colonial’ — because of Colonial Stores that preceded it — was the brainchild of businessman Abdul Habib Adam.
