Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Groote Schuur ([ɣroːtə sxyːr], Dutch for "big shed") is an estate in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1657, the estate was owned by the Dutch East India Company which used it partly as a granary. Later, the farm and farmhouse was sold into private hands. Groote Schuur was later acquired by William De Smidt, and remained in the family's possession until it was sold by Abraham De Smidt, Surveyor General of the Cape Colony, in 1878, and was bought by Hester Anna van der Byl of the prominent Van Der Byl / Coetsee family. In 1891 Cecil Rhodes leased it from her. He later bought it from her in 1893 for £60 000, and had it converted and refurbished by the architect Sir Herbert Baker. The Cape Dutch building, located in Rondebosch, on the slopes of Devil's Peak, the outlying shoulder of Table Mountain, was originally part of the Dutch East India Company's granary constructed in the seventeenth century.

In 1893 is die opstal deur Cecil John Rhodes gekoop en sir Herbert Baker het opdrag ontvang om die huis volgens die tradisionele Kaaps-Hollandse boustyl te restoureer.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

Groote Schuur is een landgoed in Kaapstad, Zuid-Afrika. In 1657 was het landgoed eigendom van de Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, die het deels als graanschuur gebruikte. Later werden de boerderij en de bijbehorende grond verkocht aan particulieren. Daarna werd Groote Schuur overgenomen door William De Smidt en bleef het in het bezit van de familie totdat het in 1878 door Abraham De Smidt, landmeter-generaal van de Kaapkolonie, werd verkocht aan Hester Anna van der Byl. In 1891 huurde Cecil Rhodes het in eerste instantie, maar kocht het in 1893 voor circa €70.000,- over. Vervolgens verbouwde architect Herbert Baker de boerderij.
