Villa Arcadia, Parktown, Mansion estate in Parktown, South Africa.
Villa Arcadia features a ground floor veranda supported by eleven arches, overlooking the former Sachsenwald area toward Saxonwold and Forest Town.
Built in 1909 by architects Herbert Baker and Francis Edward Masey, the mansion replaced an earlier Swiss chalet constructed for businessman Carl Rolfe.
Florence Phillips collaborated with architect Herbert Baker to design Villa Arcadia, incorporating elements similar to those found in Pretoria's Union Buildings.
The property at 22 Oxford Road currently houses modern art collections, boardrooms, and entertainment facilities under the ownership of Hollard Insurance.
From 1923 to 2002, Villa Arcadia served as a Jewish orphanage, accommodating over 400 children at its peak during 1939.
