First storey building in Nigeria.This building should have been giving the utmost care and attention by Nigeria.Every school kid should have at one time or the other gone to this place as a pilgrimage. But things like that do not happen in Nigeria.Great shame.

Badagryserves as home to historical landmarks in Nigeria as well as being a major hub of transatlantic slave trade in West Africa. The early missionaries in Nigeria landed in Badagry and pioneered Christianity, western education and mechanized agriculture in the country. Their contribution to civilization in Nigeria is still evident in some of parts of Badagry such as the first-storey building. Invited by the first missionary in Nigeria, Birch Freeman,Rev. Henry Townsendlaid the foundation of the first-ever storey building in Nigeria in 1842 but the building was finally completed in 1845 byRev. C.A Gollmer.Overlooking the Marina waterfront, this historical building houses some of the items used by the early missionaries such as the Bible and others.

Despite the claims that storey buildings were already built in the Northern side of the country before the arrival of the missionaries, the first documented storey building in Nigeria is in Badagry and it holds many historical relics such as the building materials used in constructing the house itself.Found in the labourer’s room are the corrugated iron sheets and the nails used in the roofing of the building. The doors and hinges are still the same and appear to have stood the test of time more than what is obtainable in the market today.
