House C Derenish Belgravia, Kimberley, Northern Cape Daniel Westwood GREATBATCH: Architect

Date: c1900 Type: Homestead Status: Unknown

A similar house [to House T Ennor], though slightly more ornate in detail, was built a few months later [in 1900] for C. Derenish, also in Belgravia. The innovation in this house was that the bathroom led off from the two main bedrooms; draughtily, a third door led down steps, out to the garden!
