First Storey Building in Nigeria (Photos)

The First Storey Building in Nigeria started in 1842 and finished in 1845 in Badagry, Lagos State.

The ancient structure is now 170 Years Old.

History has it that the ancient structure was erected by Reverend Henry Townsend of the Church Missionary Society (CMS).

The structure was occupied by Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African C.M.S Bishop when he undertook the translation of the Holy Bible from English to Yoruba. It was also used as Vicarage for saint Thomas Anglican church.
