African Heritage House, a Kenyan national monument, is on the block. As the owner of African Heritage House, I hope to pass on the house with all of its rare and valuable contents collected over the last 50 years to a buyer or buyers who will preserve the house as a national monument. When it closed in 2003, the African Heritage Pan-African Gallery left behind a staff of 510, 51 outlets worldwide and several thousand suppliers from across the African continent. It spawned the Maasai Markets we know today, which had started as the African Heritage Tuesday Buying Day. African Heritage House is based on indigenous pre-colonial mud architectures from across Africa.
