McGregor Museum Building: (Kimberley Sanatorium)

This Victorian building which now houses the McGregor Museum, was designed and erected by the architect D.W. Greatbatch in 1897 as a recuperative hotel known as the Kimberley Sanatorium. 

During the Siege of Kimberley (Anglo-Boer War) it served as a  base and home for Cecil John Rhodes . 

In 1908 De Beers Consolidated Mines changed the name to the Belgrave Hotel and it served as a luxury hotel for many years.
