Transcription of Parktown & Westcliff Heritage Trust Blue Plaque ANGLO-BOER WAR 1899-1902 CENTENARY COMMEMORATIONS EMOYENI This house was designed in 1905 by architects, Leck and Emley, for Henry Charles Hull, an attorney and, in 1910, Minister of Finance in the first Union Government. On the outbreak of war Hull left for Cape Town where he joined Brabant’s Horse, seeing action at the battle of Wepener. Hull followed on the heels of the British army into Johannesburg and was appointed to the Military Tribunal, which replaced the Z.A.R. judiciary during the British occupation. He was not an Imperialist and allied himself with Botha and Smuts in the Transvaal Legislature. (The Heritage Portal) The house was later variously known as Wyndhams, Brynywen, Highfield Manor and more recently as Emoyeni. 2012 - Now a Conference Centre and Dining Facility.
