History: This building, now a museum, dates from about 1909 and for some half a century served as a boys' school. Designed in part by Bullock and Vixseboxe, the well known architects, it reflects the former's copiousness and the latter's Transvaal Republic influence. Especially worthy of note is the facade, with its harmonious blending of styles and its impressive dome tower. The old school hall at the back of the building is, likewise an architecturally imposing structure. The edifice as a whole is a good example of the sandstone buildings of Oudtshoorn.
