The school’s location and appearance are thus described by A. K. Sempa in his 1941 article African Schools. The first building was situated between the present Namirembe (now Mengo) Primary School and the Cathedral (Namirembe).
The Mengo Palace on Mengo Hill is connected to the Bulange on Namirembe Hill by a straight road, about a mile long, called Kabaka Anjagala Road (The King Loves Me).
