School building
The school building dated 1899 in Sea Point's Main Road, which housed the school until it merged with Sea Point High School in 1989 and subsequently housed Tafelberg School's high school section until 2010, was designed by Scottish architect John Parker. The site was declared a provincial heritage site in a government gazette dated 15 December 1989. The disused 17,000 square metre site has been proposed for redevelopment by the Western Cape Government, which says that it is suitable for a mixed-use development and has requested expressions of interest from parties interested in buying the property or leasing it for a period of up to 60 years provided that the original 1899 building and an avenue of wild fig trees are preserved.
