The Buzzy Beez building on Erf 101, Church Street Stanford is one of the village’s few Grade 3a buildings. It was originally a nagmaalhuisie, and has social historical interest, in addition to the charm of its simple construction (Baumann et al 2009). Until recently it served as the preschool for the adjacent Okkie Smuts Junior School, though it has recently been used only for storage, and new classrooms have been built on the property. Due to deterioration of the thatching, and failure of the plaster, urgent repairs are necessary to the structure to prevent rain damage to the fabric of the walls and further failure of the plaster. See report below.
