This photo shows the club's swimming pool, fountain, and pool house with Lake Victoria in the background. The Nyanza Club was founded in 1915. The club's golf course opened in 1938, and its club house dates to 1952. It was a place of leisure and recreation for British civil servants during the colonial period and began to accept Indians in the 1950s and Africans after independence.
