THE OLDEST HOUSE IN WHITE RIVER;
Between 1885 and 1895 an Angican minister (name unknown). planted a tree,where the old village green was, just over the road from where the original church stood.

This tree is still standing and even although it is not indigenous to the area, being a Natal Fig, it is now an historical monument.

A house, which was the "Vicarage", was built near to this tree between 1895 and 1905 and is contended to be the oldest house in White River.

In 1916 the Anglican Church moved to where St Georges now stands on the Plaston Road and the house was either given or sold to the Dutch Reformed Church and became "Die Pastorie".

The history of ownership becomes vague after this, but after the Church stopped using the pastorie it was used as a boarding house and also converted to into four flats which were seperately let. The house was also used as a post office at some stage. In the 1970's it was converted into a lawyers office and estate agency.

In the 1980's it became a fine dining restaurant called Timbuctoo, which was run by Mr & Mrs Mike Kay. The building was sold and an increase in rent resulted in the Kays moving to where the old Alfresco's was in Allie van Bergen Street, which is now where Dr. van Wyke's surgery is.

Between the years 1995 and the end of 2005, the house was used as a roadhouse, gay nightclub, restaurant, antique shop, nursery and clothing shop.

In February of 2006 the house was bought and restored by Mr Braam Coetzee and his family. Braam and his father did the restoration and the restauarant opened with just six tables during April of 2006. During May 2006 the dining room opened and in June the bar opened.
Today patrons and customers can enjoy the outstandingly fine cuisine offered by Alfresco Restaurant, which if the interesting history is divulged makes the food tastes all the better while remembering the house's chequered past.
