The house was designed by Baker, Masey and Sloper
in 1904 for John Dale Lace, owner of the Lace
Diamond Mine, and his glamorous wife, José. In
January 1901 Dale Lace raised, and after the war
commanded, the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles.
José organised fundraising events and
celebrated Peace on 31 May 1902 with a
picnic for children of
Nazareth House.
