The All Saints Cathedral along Kenyatta Avenue was designed by British architect, Temple Moore who was a Freemason in Kenya.
The All Saints Cathedral is well situated in the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi, next to the Nairobi Central Business District, along Kenyatta Avenue. The church was designed by British architect, Temple Moore who was a Freemason in Kenya.
The first stone was set for the structure in 1917 and it was constructed in three stages, the last of which was finished just before the country gained independence in 1962. Famous British stained-glass artist AJ Davis created the building's stained-glass windows.
According to tradition, the masons buried a copy of the day's East African Standard Newspaper and rupee coins bearing the year in the All Saints Cathedral's foundation stone.
The structure has an English-Gothic design. Its roof is supported by pointed arches and timber trusses and its walls are made of smooth dressed stone with recessed white mortar seams. The cathedral belongs to Anglican Church of Kenya and is a national landmark that has been gazetted.
