Baron Von Elgg Victorian Stately home, 14 Faure Street, Malmesbury • c1890 This is the only remaining double-storeyed Victorian mansion in Malmesbury. It has been excellently preserved by a series of private owners. ES Ford bought the property from the Dutch Reformed Church in 1876. It is reputed to have been built by Edith Henrietta Kotze at a cost of around £7,000, an exorbitant sum at the time. All the building material was ordered from a catalogue and shipped out from England. Frederick Fortunatus Werdmuller bought the house in 1907 and lived there for many years, while Gerrie Thiart, who bought it in 1953, saved the house from demolition, a fate suffered by several other stately Victorian residences scattered about the town. The house was declared a national monument (now provincial heritage site) in 1984. The current owner is Mr. Andro Engelbrecht who bought the property in 2013, which is now a well appointed private home, the house still boasts its original painted, pressed steel ceilings and six marble fireplaces.
