      Statement of Significance

      Built c1900 this fine Victorian redbrick school building with its large gable and ornamented wooden verandah is an excellent example of its type and period. As an intitution the school itself, having been established by the Government of the Colony of Zululand in 1896, is of historical interest. (Were it not for removal of the roof vent and much ornamental woodwork and the IBR roofing, this building would warrant national monument status.)
