Title: Restoration at Lutheran Church, Strand Street, Cape Town, 1978
Creator: Le Roux, Dana
Subject: Cape Town (South Africa), Church buildings, Historic buildings, Architecture, Restoration
Description: Workmen are repairing and restoring the historic Lutheran Church in Strand Street, the country's oldest building and one of a number of fine examples of 18th Century architecture in Strand Street. The copper spire, dominated by an orb and crown on the weathervane, is being painted to preserve it from the effects of sea air and pollution. The Rev Charles Ellefson, minister of the church, said it was last painted and repaired in 1970 when storm winds blew off the corrugated iron roof.
