The Dedza Boma building dates back to the colonial era, constructed in 1947 as an administrative headquarters. Over the decades, it has served as the center of local governance and administration for the Dedza District.
The building's architecture reflects the colonial style prevalent during its construction, featuring a distinct blend of European designs adapted to the local climate. Its sturdy brick construction and spacious layout were intended to demonstrate authority while providing functional space for administrative activities.
Today, the Boma continues to serve as the heart of Dedza District's administration, housing key government offices and serving as a central point for citizens seeking various government services.
