Brief History
Timour Hall Villa was rescued from abandonment in the mid 1980s and has been used as a Hospitality House by the International Police Association since it was opened in December 1989. While Timour Hall probably began as a typical Dutch building of the period, each successive owner added bits here and there and made other alterations over the years and the result is an interesting museum of building fancies covering nearly 200 years.
Dormer windows snuggle beside the handsome, elongated central gable and a portico has replaced the old wooden verandah across the front of the main house. The annex alongside the main house, houses a ballroom with a fine domed ceiling. The ballroom was built in the second half of the 1800’s when Timour Hall was regarded as “one of the socially important Manor Houses of Cape Town and was the scene of many lavish entertainments”.
