Historical information

Originally built in 1857 as a school operated by T.W. Boehm, and known as the Hahndorf Academy. A second storey was added in 1871 and the corner tower was added in 1872. In 1877 the school was sold to the Lutheran Church and served for some years as a Lutheran college and seminary. It was sold again in 1886 to Douglas Byard and H.S. Steer, who changed the name to Hahndorf College. Byard served as headmaster until the school closed in 1912.
