The Kenya National Archives, a famous complex located at the heart of Nairobi, along Moi Avenue, is more than just a stopover or a meeting point.
This building not only stands out as one of the most unique structures in the country's capital due to its antique architectural design, but also holds a wealth of Kenyan and African history.
Initially, the building was originally intended to be a bank when construction kicked off in 1930, and for 34 years, it served as the headquarters of the National and Grindlays Bank.
However, two years after the country gained independence, in 1965, the building was formally converted to the Kenya National Archives and Documentation Service (KNADS) through an Act of Parliament and has since then been utilised for the management of all public records.
