The farm shed is of an exceptional design resembling a typical European barn. The roof design resembles a Mansard roof, which is explained as a type of covering that has a steep lower part and a less steep upper part on all 2 four sides of a building. The building is possibly not considered as unique, but could be one of two or three of this design in the country.

The barn is a double storied building with a concrete staircase leading up to the second level. The first floor consists of wooden boards carried on wooden beams which are supported by brick built columns. Large wooden doors on the western and eastern ends allow access to the ground floor as well as the second level. Sloping roofed annexures were added on the southern and northern sides of the main building.

According to the family, the building was planned and built by Mr Walter George Plant Verster, the former owner of the farm. Mr Verster had been the Chairman of the Merino Breeders Association at a certain stage. According to his children he went on an overseas trip to Germany and the United States and on his return he decided to build the shed. Mr Verster passed away in 1969.

Judging from the design and the construction of the building it could be speculated that somebody with a more specialised knowledge of building methods could have been involved in the design. Unfortunately it could not be ascertained if an architect or builder had been drawn in during the erection of the structure.

The age of the building could not be determined with certainty. According to the relatives, the structure probably dates from about 1952 or earlier. An eyewitness account by a retired architect from Bloemfontein, places the building in the year
1949.

Other information about the building and its construction could not be traced and it seems that all the old people who had first hand knowledge of the building have passed away.
