Melrose House, Victorian mansion museum in Pretoria, South Africa.

Melrose House is a mansion at 275 Jeff Masemola Street in Pretoria, opposite Burgers Park, built between 1884 and 1886 for transport entrepreneur George Jesse Heys and named after Melrose Abbey in Scotland. It shows the transition from Victorian to Edwardian styles, with stained glass windows, paintings by English artists, richly coloured carpets, ornate ceilings and fireplaces, and porcelain ornaments, most of them from the Heys family.

The house was built in the 1880s for a wealthy merchant and served as the headquarters of the British military command during the Second Boer War from 1900. After the war it was taken over by the city of Pretoria and later turned into a museum.

The house takes its name from Melrose Abbey in Scotland, chosen by its builder George Jesse Heys. Annual antique markets are held on the grounds, and the museum also hosts concerts and exhibitions. The dining room where the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed is kept as part of the display.

Melrose House stands at 275 Jeff Masemola Street, opposite Burgers Park in central Pretoria. The museum keeps the room and dining-room table where the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed on 31 May 1902, so allow time to find it among the period rooms. Annual antique markets are held on the premises.

The peace treaty that ended the Second Boer War in 1902 was signed on the dining room table, which still stands in its original place. That table is one of the few surviving objects directly connected to the end of the conflict.
