The building was completed in 1905. The tower was named ''Damara Tower'' from where observers used to look for ships in the ocean and ox wagons in the desert.
In April 1909 the Damara and Namaqua Trading Company sold all its shares to the company C. Woermann and to their shareholders and was renamed to ''Woermann Brock & Co. which is the present day name.

It was very insightful seeing how some tribes live and learning about the ‘clicking’ language. We were invited to a lunch at one of the family homes. The people were so gracious and hospitable and trying the various foods was quite an experience. I loved seeing the children and how happy and friendly they were. Our guide was wonderful and I would highly recommend this tour.

This was an excellent tour, exceeding the impressions given in the description.
The highlights were a small meal of traditional local food during which we were serenaded by a small a cappella group singing to the table, and a visit to a local primary school to meet and interact with the 'library prefects' who sang their school song and talked to us about football and books.
