      Statement of Significance

      Built as a court house in 1906 for the Colonial Public Works Department (1889 date on building inaccurate), plans for this small wood and iron building were drawn up by the Public Works Branch, Natal Colony. The building neatly indicates the size of the early administration in the area at the time. It retains its original character.
