South African Republic president Paul Kruger's farm was declared a National Monument by the Monument's Commission. The complex features three buildings: a house built in 1841 before Kruger bought the farm, a structure put up by Kruger himself in 1863, and a Pretoria-style townhouse built by Kruger's son in 1892.
