Click to view map Coordinates: | Built in 1942 by a well-known businessmen of Potchefstroom, Mr Hugh Calderbank, this Tudor-style house, right next to the entrance to the Dam Resort, was described as follows: “So striking appears this house against the backdrop of well-cared for gardens and stone walls, that no visitor to the Dam could not be impressed by it.” The house currently serves as the residence of the Vice-Chancellor of the North-West University (NWU). It served as the residence of the rector of the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education (PU for CHE) since 1965 when the PU for CHE acquired the property. The first resident rector was Prof Hennie Bingle. |
