Shan Cinema, 14th Top Iconic building in Nairobi

Remember the days when cinemas had large posters outside the main entrance? see below ....see the large poster for Sone Chidya.......around 1958 (middle photo). Shan Cinema seated 650 persons.
In 2012 a survey by the Architectural Association of Kenya and the National Musuems of Kenya named the Shan building (now Sarakasi Dome bottom photo) as the 14th top iconic building that gave Nairobi it's unique character!! (Nation.Africa Kenyas Top 15 buildings Sept 7th 2012 issue)
