McHardy House
Museum in Cullinan
The McHardy House, located on Oak Avenue in Cullinan, South Africa, is a museum which was previously the residence of the first General Manager of the Premier Mine, William McHardy, and his family consisting of his wife, Evalina, their 3 daughters and 4 sons. The house was the first house to be constructed at the Premier Mine in 1903. The main bedroom of the house was added in 1908 and a brick toilet as late as 1940. A Victorian Garden was laid out with compacted gravel pathways and the typical ceramic edgings, as well as a rose garden. Two of Williams daughters, Evalina and May, lived in the house until their death within 10 days of each other in July 1984. The house still has working electricity and a working fridge from the 1910s.
