It was not easly known as which Authority is currently taking care of, and some People thought on a need to make this structure as one of the Old Building (Museum). Picture by the Coutesy of Mdau.

Tulisha wahi kusema kidogo kuhus jengo hili katika siku za nyuma lakini bila maelezo ya kina. Jengo huli unaloliona lilijengwa mwaka 1912 na sasa limetimiza umeri wa miaka 98. Lipo katika makutano ya Shule ya Sekondari ya Uyui, Shule ya Msingi ya Mwenge, Chuo cha Ualimu (TTC) na Kituo cha Mafuta cha zamani cha Kassu pamoja na uwanja wa zamani wa mpira wa kumbukumbu ya Vita.
