JOHANNESBURG CULTURAL LEGACY
WEBER HOUSE

Built in 1934, designed by J.D. Mc Cullum, this house was
bought before completion by Abel Hossy, a mining engineer
and his wife Rosie. It was home to them and their three
children and later, their daughter Frances and her husband
Norbert lived there until 2011

Apart from alterations to the original porch and verandah
in 1970, the house has remained unaltered. It was the
only residential site in the block on this side of Tyrone
Avenue when it was rezoned as commercial. In
2011 it was sold to Helene Bramwell and
renamed WEBER HOUSE in memory
of her husband Gerhard T. Weber.
