According to a tour guide, the fan was installed in 1925 and still functions today, in 2024. Anita Akuffo tested the fan and was shown how to turn it on by moving the switch to the right.
The moment she turned the switch, the fan started to turn. However, it made loud noises, which, according to Anita Akuffo, was pardonable because it is 99 years old.
Below is a video of Anita Akuffo testing the old fan at the Manhyia Palace Museum.
