Arusha: UTC Building

We start with the former UTC building. The style is Boat style, Jan explains. Perhaps British-Built in the 1950s the building has a distinct geometrical structure, cylindrical, shaping the curving street corner below. The building features two canopies, a wider one over the pavement to shelter from rain or sun and a narrower one over windows in the first floor to shade from sunlight.

Further down Sokoine Road, a similarly cylindrical shaped building, probably designed by the same Architect stands at Hassanali's For Automobile Spares, opposite NBC bank.
