History
Built in the 16th century, this historic home was likely owned by wealthy Arab-Swahili traders. Its coral stone construction and central courtyard reflect the grandeur and prosperity of the era. Over the centuries, the house has had several owners, including Abdulhusein Mulla, who acquired it in the 1920s and ran Lamu’s first soda pop depot from the premises. In the 1970s, a group of backpackers purchased the house and began restoring the ruins of the old factory. By the 1980s, they had introduced electricity and running water, modernizing the home while preserving its historic charm.
