History: Granite Lodge, a predominantly Georgian granite-fronted house was built c.1834 for Anthony Oliphant, the first Attorney-General of the Cape Colony. Otto Landsberg, the famous artist and tobacconist, lived here from 1845 to 1865, after which Mary Arthur bought the house to accommodate the St. George's Orphanage for Girls.
The adjacent extension (to the St. George's Orphanage for Girls) was designed in 1917 by the architects Parker and Forsyth. It was dedicated by the Archbishop of Cape Town, William Carter.
Visual Description: The building formerly known as Granite Lodge and the extension (for the two structures to form the St. George's Orphanage for Girls), now used as the Head Office of the SAHRA.
