SiteComments:
"Jugendstil" style. 8 rooms. Originally signboards partially kept. Separate toilet building. Besides the State Railway, Swakopmund had a parallel running second line: the Otavi Railway for mining. The line to Tsumeb had been constructed between 1903 and 1906. In 1910, the German government closed the State line and used the Otavi line to Karibib instead. Because its terminal was too small, the State terminal was used and the Otavi-Buildings became a residence. It was taken over by Smith African Railways after WWI. Later, it became property of TRANSNAMIB who donated it to the Society for Scientific Development in 1993.
