This small double storey building still stands today and before 1890 it was used as an armourer's shop by George Kynoch and Co. who was a gunsmith, and the Staats Geweers Fabriek. He also sold tents. (Dunston, 1975:151, 154) This might be the oldest surviving commercial building in Pretoria. View an article by Rosa Swanepoel discussing George Kynoch on UPSpace. References: Jooste, Deon. 1980.
