The lecture is indirectly related to the current exhibition, Building History.
The oldest part of this elegant old building at the top of Langalibalele (Longmarket) Street dates from 1848, and all the Governors who lived there until 1910 added to it.
In later years it housed the well-known Pietermaritzburg Teacher Training College. After a bad period of neglect, the building was restored by Brusse and his team between 2004 and 2014.
