A Neo-Dutch style mansion was designed in 1935. Completed in 1941, this mansion located on Grant's Hill served as residence for the
Governor General of the Union of South Africa from 1942.
In 1972, the building was officially named
Oliewenhuis, the name derived from the abundance of wild olive trees growing on the hills nearby. In 1985
the building became an art museum.
