Kya Rosa, University of Pretoria

The original building was constructed in Skinner Street in 1895 and belonged to Leo Weinthal, owner of The Press.

Work began in 1983, under the guidance of architect Albrecht Holm, an alumnus of the University of Pretoria.

Precise measurements were taken from the original building and old photographs were used as reference to ensure that the reconstructed building closely resembles the original house.

Today, Kya Rosa houses the Office for Alumni Relations and incorporates a small conference and entertainment centre.

The house was officially opened by Dr Anton Rupert on 25 October 1985.
