The Kimberley house at 44 Pritchard street is Victorian style and one of the oldest buildings in the city of Johannesburg. The building was constructed in 1892 by the architect Chris J Olley and the owners of the building ran a shop for various kinds of fashion wares.[1] With limited resources at their disposal, the builders used oxen to fetch material ordered from England to Johannesburg.[2]
