This home was designed by Baker, Masey and Sloper in 1906 for Attorney Walter Webber and his wife, Margaret Ross, both keen gardeners. Their home was called Ednam. Webber came to Johannesburg in 1902 and established the firm Webber-Wentzel. He was a member of the Transvaal Legislative Assembly and represented Troyeville. In 1956 the house was acquired by Col Arthur Johnstone and his wife Eileen, who renamed it Valley Home, retaining the original garden. (Blue plaque inscription)
