Preserving Sierra Leone's historical houses

Sierra Leone's timber style houses built after the slave trade have deteriorated and are being replaced by modern buildings.
One organisation in the capital wants to save them as a means of celebrating West African history and architecture.

A great selling point to promote tourism in Sierra Leone. The country's position in the emancipation of freed slaves is unique and the board houses are all part of that story. I only hope the present government would work swiftly to preserve them as time is running out

I strongly hope the present government will invest into saving at least some of these buildings. Its a huge aspect of the Sierra Leonean history

There are houses exactly like those in Trinidad, but they're rapidly disappearing too

[ayarzeev]

there are tourists that go to Sierra Leone?

Those houses should be destroyed, they just make the city awkward.
