Old Publications - Sir Julius Jeppe's Mansion featured in an English publication "The Sphere, January 5 - 1901"

 


"BELGRAVIA", the handsome house at Johannesburg where Lord Roberts stayed on his way south"

"On his return to Johannesburg, Lord Roberts stayed at Belgravia, the house which belongs to Mr Julius Jeppe, who was taken prisoner at the battle of Graspan. He is a younger brother of Mr Carl Jeppe, formerly First Volksraad Member for the Witwatersrand and Goldfields. The house was occupied until Lord Roberts went to Johannesburg by Colonel Colin Mackenzie, the military governor of Johannesburg, who placed the house at the chief's disposal when Miss Robert's illness decided her father to bring her over from Pretoria to the clearer and drier atmosphere of the Rand.  This picture was taken by Johnson Hoyle."
