This imposing ornate building with beautiful old European architecture, served as the seat of the government during the colonial era. Today it is part of the National Museum, run by the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, housing artefacts and relics of historical interest. It is situated near the Mariana Beach Resort and is housed in the Old Government House building - the former residence of the Colonial Governor when Calabar was the capital of pre-independent Nigeria. Like the Lugard House, Lokoja, the Old Residency was designed and built in the United Kingdom (Glasgow) and shipped over to Nigeria in pieces. http://www.crossriverstate.gov.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=109:the-old-residency-museum-calabar&catid=94&Itemid=279 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Unlike the Lugard House in Lokoja, situated inside the Kogi State Government House, where Lord Lugard lived, and a similar house now used as the Kogi State Ministry of Culture and Tourism, where Lugard and his team used as office, the Old Residence in Calabar was used as both office and residence. 11 Likes 1 Share

op how many roads, hospitals and universities were built in Calabar by your colonial rulers? You do realise that at independence most houses in Calabar were mud huts, most roads untarred, and blacks like you were not allowed near that building you posted unless you were a servant or cleaner? 2 Likes |

Even Mary Slessor's house at Itam, Itu Local Government in Akwa Ibom state sadly the same location our amiable federal government chooses to site a nuclear plant in Akwa Ibom. The Mary Slessor house is a tourist attraction, in Akwa Ibom they worship her as twin goddesse so much to learn from our history! such a rich history with diversity!  **Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins in West Africa** 1 Like 1 Share |
