Parliament: Seven historic Nairobi buildings constructed by Freemasons

1. Parliament

• Nairobi lacks distinct architecture, with designs of most modern buildings borrowed from Europe
• However, one can’t miss the uniqueness of buildings erected by Freemasons
• Freemasonry is not a religion, but a Fraternal Order and early converts were gifted and took pride in grand, impeccable masonry work

Little can distinguish Nairobi buildings, besides the current craze for height, aluminium cladding and glazing. Actually, the design of modern buildings is mostly of European import.

But one can’t miss the uniqueness of buildings that were erected by Freemasons who put up structures like the All Saint’s Cathedral at the turn of the last century.
