Tower House Mahenge Boma, Tanzania
The Tower House was built as a civil and military fort. It was home to Roger Searle and his family between 1959-1960 while he was posted in Tanganyika as District Officer. The roof consisted of corrugated iron sheeting which was painted red. The walls were rendered stone, and the flooring was concrete downstairs and wood upstairs.

I was born in Mahenge, my father was the District Doctor. We lived there from 1952 -1961. We have photos of Roger Searle and his wife.
Victoria,
You must be Garry and Laura’s daughter! We have a photo of you and your three sisters in the back of our Land Rover. Amazing to hear of you after 59 years.
Roger.
