Kya Rosa, reconstructed late-Victorian house at the University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa

Kya Rosa is a late-Victorian house rebuilt as a replica at the Roper Street entrance to the University of Pretoria. The reconstruction, guided by architect Albrecht Holm, used precise measurements from the 1895 original and incorporated many original Victorian fittings. Today it houses part of the Department of Enrolment and Student Administration.

The original house was built in 1895 in Skinner Street for Leo Weinthal, owner of The Press. It later became the first home of the Transvaal University College, the predecessor of the University of Pretoria, and by 1911 it had been vacated. In 1980 the university commissioned a replica at the Roper Street entrance; construction began in 1983 under architect Albrecht Holm and the rebuilt house was opened by Dr Anton Rupert on 25 October 1985.

The name combines Kya, the Zulu word for house, with Rosa, after Leo Weinthal's wife. The 1985 replica was opened by Dr Anton Rupert, and the building now houses TuksAlumni, the university's alumni office, and a small conference and function centre.

Kya Rosa stands at the Roper Street entrance to the University of Pretoria's Hatfield campus, a short walk from the main gate. The replica is a working university building, so visitors view the exterior and the Victorian fittings from outside rather than touring the offices.

Architect Albrecht Holm used precise measurements and historical photographs to create an exact replica of the original Victorian structure during its 1983 reconstruction. This faithful approach allowed the building to be restored as authentically as possible despite being entirely rebuilt.
