      Statement of Significance

      The house which was erected in 1942 and designed by the architect Hugh Roberts, is a landmark in Potchefstroom. Historically it is important for its association with Hugh Calderbank who was the Mayor of Potchefstroom in the early 1940s. The building also has some connection with the Second World War as Itatian prisoners of war were interned here for four years. The building stands as an example of Tudor-style architecture.
