Bloemfontein - Old Presidency

This stately Victorian building (1885) on the west side of Brand Street was the residence of three Presidents of the Boer republic of the Orange Free State. It now houses a museum devoted to the terms of office of the three Presidents - P. J. H. Brand (1864-88), P. W. Reitz (1888-95) and M.T. Stein (1896-1900) - as well as pictures and furniture. The building is also a cultural center used for art exhibitions, small theatrical performances and concerts.
