History: This building was erected between 1880 and 1886 to provide proper housing for the Stellenbosch College. The foundation stone was laid on 22 December 1880, after which a portion of the building was put into use on 15 October 1883 and the completed building officially opened on 6 November 1886. This so-called Main Building is in the Neo-Classical style, Carl Hager being the architect, and played an important part in the history of the Victoria College and later the University of Stellenbosch
