JOHANNESBURG CULTURAL LEGACY
HAZELDENE HALL
Designed by Aburrow and Treeby, this house was built for
Charles Jerome in 1902. Hazeldene Hall’s distinctive feature
is its symmetry and the double-storied cast-iron veranda on
three sides, the iron work selected from the catalogue of Walter
MacFarlane of Glasgow.
Charles Jerome, born 1863, was a financier, stockbroker,
director of companies and was known as “King Coal” as
he founded the Boksburg coalfields. He was also
a member of the syndicate that established
the Premier Diamond Mine.
