Kruger House, Pretoria, House museum in Pretoria, South Africa

Kruger House is a historic residential building on Church Street where South African President Paul Kruger lived. The rooms include reception areas, bedrooms, and a porch that show how a wealthy household was arranged in that period.

The house was built in 1884 and served as the residence of the President of the South African Republic until 1900. That year marked his departure from the country during a major political change.

The reception room was where Paul Kruger met Cecil Rhodes, Marthinus Theunis Steyn and Barney Barnato, and where daily morning prayers were held with the household and the guard on the veranda, accompanied by the home organ. The two stone lions on the veranda were a birthday gift from mining magnate Barney Barnato on 10 October 1896.

The museum entrance is on WF Nkomo Street, formerly Church Street, opposite the Pretoria Reformed Church (GKSA). Inside, visitors pass through Mrs Kruger's reception room, the two offices, guest bedrooms, dining room, family bedroom, pantry and kitchen. The president's personal railway coach stands at the end of the back courtyard, under a canopy in the garden.

Milk was used instead of water when mixing the cement for the house's construction due to poor material quality in the area at that time. This unusual method was a practical solution for the building challenges of that era.
