6) Waterstraat 29

Die Ou Lady Guesthouse. T-plan house on the corner of Dorp Street built on a water erf purchased by Richard Fryer in 1851. The house has been modified
including a veranda with Victorian broekie lace. It is said that these alterations date from the time when the thatch was set alight during the Anglo-Boer war, as the then owner, Jack van Dyk, was a British supporter in a town occupied by Boer sympathisers.
