Built in 1886 by Pretoria businessman George Jesse Heys. It was named after the famous Melrose Abbey in Scotland. Melrose House gained fame during the Second Boer War (1899–1902) when Lord Roberts requisitioned it as the headquarters for the British forces after Pretoria was invaded in June 1900. Today the elegant mansion is a historic house museum. It is an example of the transition from Victorian to Edwardian architectural styles and interiors. The interior is characterised by colourful stained glass windows, paintings by English artists, carpets in rich colours, ornate ceilings and fireplaces, as well as valuable porcelain pieces.

Named after the famous Melrose Abbey in Scotland, Melrose House was built in 1886 by prosperous Pretoria businessman George Jesse Heys. Today, the mansion stands as a superb example of the transition between the Victorian and Edwardian architectural styles. The Peace Treaty of Vereeniging, which ended the Second Anglo-Boer War, was signed in the dining room of Melrose House on 31 May 1902. The table on which the treaty was signed can still seen in the museum today, and an example of the peace treaty is also on display.
