The design of the building was carried out by A.E. Dainton, Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works and an architectural firm, Stott and Kirby. The construction of the residence was announced in 1901 by Mayor John Nicol with £15,000 voted for the building which was later changed to £28,000. The residence was completed in 1904. Its first resident was Sir , then Chief Justice of Natal, who moved into the house on June 29, 1904. The house was also used to accommodate the British royal family on their 1947 visit to South Africa. In 2012, President Jacob Zuma renamed the property to Dr John L. Dube House, to honour Dr John Langalibalele Dube who was an educationist, journalist and first President of the ruling African National Congress. The building was as unfit for human habitation following flood damage as a result of storms in the area in 2016. (en)
