House of wonders was titled the House of Wonders since it was the first electricity building in Zanzibar and also the first elevator building in East Africa. The building of the palace from the 19th century in the center of Stone Town, Zanzibar’s most historical area, was built in 1883 by Barghash bin Said, the second sultan of Zanzibar. Although the invasion damaged the House of Wonders, the upper story of the building is documented as the abode of the next Sultan. It was also used for years until 1990 as a government facility when building authorities ignored and started to disintegrate.
