Over the years, Broad Street, Lagos has metamorphosed from its old relics, to new architectural master piece, thus parading monumental edifices of sort.

Long before the advent of the colonial masters, some structural edifices on the street, perhaps with the exception of a few, were more or less colonial relics.

But the turn of event became better, when the whites came to settle in Marina area due to its vantage position of facing the lagoon.

Since then, Broad Street has transformed into a sprawling street of sort, where commercial activities take place day and night, making it as one of the busiest cities in the country
