History: This double storeyed house with its predominantly Georgian characteristics was presumably erected by Jan de Waal shortly after the property was granted to him in 1752 by the Governor Ryk Tulbagh. The present Georgian windows and door replaced those in the Dutch style during the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
Jan De Waal House was opened on 13 April 1983 by Mrs. Elize Botha, wife of the Prime Minister of South Africa.
Visual Description: Jan de Waal House is a double storey five bay town house with a shallow rusticated plaster front and finely detailed Georgian teak joinery (C. 1830). It also has an eight panelled entrance door with fanlight, as well as sashes, louvered shutters and a cemented stoep with Georgian wrought iron end rails with granite base blocks.
