Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The house was built in 1898 on a large expanse of landscaped land and named after the late Francis Jaekel OBE, a former superintendent of the Nigerian Railway Corporation who retired in the 1970s after almost three decades of active service. Jaekel House was formally the residence of the General Manager and was later converted to a senior staff rest house. The building has been renovated and restored by Professor John Godwin in collaboration with the Railway Corporation in 2010.

The building is now a “mini Museum” showcasing photographic archives dating from 1940s through to 1970s of personalities, places, historical events in pre- and post-independent Nigeria and houses artefacts (tools, equipment, attires, pictures etc) of the old Railway Corporation.

LEGACY is the Historical and Environmental Interest group of Nigeria.:
JAEKEL HOUSE

Jaekel House is the secretariat Joint Railway/LEGACY Committee and also serves as the mini Museum that showcases basic artifacts and monuments of our work.
