History: This simple brick building and chimney formed part of the iron installation of Cornelis Delfos's Pretoria Iron Mines Limited, where in 1918 cast iron from indigenous ore was produced on a large scale for the first time in South Africa. Delfos was the major driving force behind the establishment of Iscor in 1928, and Iscor later developed around this installation.
