Built by Paul Kruger in 1873, this double-storey house with its flat roof is extremely unusual for the Transvaal. It resembles the style found in the Colesberg district of the Cape Colony, where Kruger had lived until the age of ten. However, the construction methods are typical of those used in the Rustenburg district. The timber is Boekenhout (Beechwood), and the house has a traditional cow-dung and blood floor.
