Five Views of Nairobi, Kenya, British East Africa: A Glimpse into Colonial Life in the 1910s This photograph print, taken circa 1910, showcases five distinct views of Nairobi, the vibrant capital city of Kenya during the British colonial era. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets and architectural landscape of a bygone era. The first view, to the east, reveals Sixth Avenue, a tree-lined street adorned with European-style buildings that housed the residences of the British colonial elite. The second view, along Government Road, displays a procession of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, highlighting the city's cosmopolitan character. The third view focuses on the imposing Municipal Court House, a symbol of British authority and justice, while the fourth depicts the European Hospital, a vital institution catering to the health needs of the European community. Lastly, the fifth view showcases St. Andrew's Church, a beautiful stone structure that served as a spiritual sanctuary for the city's European residents. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the colonial past of Nairobi, Kenya, during the 1910s. The blend of architectural styles, the diverse population, and the bustling activity on the streets all contribute to a captivating snapshot of life in British East Africa during this period.
