This building ought to be a monument, but reverse is the case. This is the deplorable and horrible state of the first storey built in Ibadan. The building was built by Reverend and Mrs Hinderer as the first Mission House in Ibadan. Its foundation was laid in 1844 and completed in 1855...
According to reports, it is in this house that the First Sacrament was administered to the first set of Christians in Ibadan. It is also in this building that the then Baale of Ibadan and his chiefs first had contact with a Mirror.
