		For the reason that the Government of Cape Town itself had so much building to do, it was decided that the Landdrost and Heemraden of Stellenbosch should call for tenders for the erection of the building.
		In 1971 the municipality agreed to allow the Stellenbosch Museum to take over the building for displaying the museum's collection of firearms, cannon, military uniform etc. Serious difficulties were encountered when attempts were made to combat the problem of dampness in the structure.
