The Arop House is a building in Von Brandis & Kerk Street, Johannesburg, South Africa. Construction commenced in 1931 and completed in 1932 by Hermann Kallenbach, a close friend of Mahatma Gandhi, along with his partners Kennedy and Furner. The building is characterized by balconies with steel balustrades and its name was inspired by a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics petroleum company with the same name. As of 2014, the building is in a dilapidated state.
