Lindfield Victorian House Museum

This guide to the Lindfield Victorian House Museum in Johannesburg is narrated by Katharine Love herself, who answers the door in a full Victorian gown and leads you through the eighteen rooms of the house her grandmother bought nearly a century ago. It traces the building's own history, from its early-1900s construction linked to architect Herbert Baker, through mining executive Henry O'Kelly Webber's expansion, to a room added in 1933 by Nelly Edwards, believed to be Johannesburg's first female architect. You'll pass a nursery, a schoolroom and a gentleman's library along the way.
