Old Africa 4 - Kijabe Hill Sanatorium built circa 1909-10. The building has been variously described as dull, grandiose, a Teutonic schloss or just plain ghastly. Two Germans, Welter & Schauer, constructed the building and opened a health resort and Sanatorium in 1910. It catered for hunters as well as convalescents. It had a European chef and, amazingly for those days of Dietz lanterns, was lit by National Air Gas. The Health Resort did not survive the First World War, when the British government seized it as enemy alien property. By 1924 the building stood empty. [Later bought by F.R. Cramb and  became Kenton College]
