Dar es Salaam - Karimjee Hall

Karimjee Hall was constructed in 1916 by the British government to house the legislative council. The building was presented to Municipality of Dar es Salaam by the Karimjee family and later used as the nation's House of Parliament when Tanzani regained independence in 1961. Karimjee Hall currently houses the City Mayor's Parlor and is used for parliamentary meetings and other functions. It has been used as the venue for many occasions including the swearing in of Julius Nyerere as the country's first president. It is currently closed to the public.
