This magnificent old dwelling, formerly known as The Lodge, was designed by the architect Sydney Stent and built in 1889 as residence for Mr John Blades Currey, manager of the London & S A Exploration Company. It was taken over by De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited in 1899 and used as a guest house until 1937 when it was converted into an ethnographic museum to house the collection of photographs of the Bantu and Khoisan peoples and their ways of life, which was taken by Mr A M Duggan-Cronin. It now forms part of the McGregor Museum complex.
