      Statement of Significance

      The land was granted in 1818 to J W van Dyk, a wagonmaker who built the house in about 1825. There was a wagon-builder's workshop in the basement up to 1870. The building was then purchased for a school and Dr D F Malan taught there in 1896. It has been restored by Historical Homes Limited.
