History: This building at the corner of Strand and Buitengracht Streets was probably built at the same time as the Parsonage, that is between 1779 and 1783. It was originally separated from the Church by another house which the Church Council let out to tenants, but the two houses were later built into one and the façade of the letting house was retained. When the first Lutheran teacher, Lourens Ersey, arrived at the Cape in 1791 he lived in this house because he also acted as the sexton and precentor.
