History
"Was originally an H-shaped single storey house (original ceilings intact): the entrance is now where its side court was. From about 1810 to 1837 it was owned by Johannes Wege, an auctioneer, who may have added the second floor. It was then the home of Professor John Murray, one of the first 2 professors of the Theological Seminary, who was probably responsible for the Georgianisation. (Fransen & Cook and Meiring & van Huyssteen"
