“The Klonovski Building occupied roughly three stands, facing north. It was a three-storey structure, likely with a basement. The ground floor housed the pharmacy on the corner and several shops, the first floor was designed for office tenants, and the attic level, with its characteristic dormer windows, offered rooms for rent... When completed, the Klonovski Building was the largest in Krugersdorp. Afterwards, the building changed ownership and some alterations were made to the facade, like the construction of a cast-iron stoep wrapping around the corner on two floors, plastering the facade, and the removal of the original corner balcony and the tower. When the Victoria Hotel opened its doors in the 1930s, half of the Commissioner Street facade was demolished and replaced with an Art Deco wing. The hotel was renamed Die Herberg in the late 1900s. It was razed by fire in October 2025." (Source: Krugersdorp News, October 16, 2025.)
