House Krans is a Heritage Home, built in 1952, against the Lee Harvey bird sanctuary on Linksfield Ridge. Originally home to Egon Guenther, a German immigrant and prolific South African art dealer, who founded the Amadlozi Group of Artists.

This family home, now owned by Egons daughter Miriam, still remains a private art gallery and museum of their personal collections. The house has seen scores of artists, politicians, collectors, and professors passing through its doors, to buy, study, and document the vast collections: Moshe Dayan, Dr Chris Barnard, Karel Nel, Thabo Mbeki, and others have all visited at one point.

The kitchen, being a fundamental part of the home, had not been updated since 1990.
