By the beginning of 1912 a location had been set aside at the corner of Kings Way and Kirk Road. Robertson, Gow and Davidson – a British architectural firm in Nairobi – orchestrated the development of East Africa’s first synagogue. In structure, it was unique and stood out on the booming street on which it was situated. Today, as you drive along University Way, the Nairobi Synagogue still stands; a beguiling mixture of ancient and modern, quiet and fenced - in an otherwise bustling area.
