Description

Architectural heritage: wooden casement windows in the historic St. Stephen's Church on Riebeeck Square are being replaced as part of a restoration project sponsored by the Vernacular Architecture Society. The church was built in 1800 as the first theatre in South Africa and helped relieve the garrison's boredom during the first British occupation. It became part of the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in 1857. Restoration workers, from left, Mr Kennet Plaatjies, Mr Sedick Slemming and Mr Shaheed Hendricks help conservation architect Mrs Pat Riley of the National Monuments Council size up a replacement window.

Description
-
The old Opera House: many of Cape Town's senior citizens will remember the old Opera House which was opened in 1893 and demolished in 1937. It stood at the corner of Darling and Parliament Streets on the site presently occupied by the General Post Office and was built before the present Standard Bank Building was extended from Adderley Street through to Parliament Street (or Grave Street as it was then known). The Opera House Restaurant on the first floor was for many years one of the most popular eating-out establishments in Cape Town.

Description

Almost futuristic in design, the Parow East Dutch Reformed Church in Tygerberg Road was built three years ago. The unusual tower rests on a triangular base and dwindles to a pinpoint at the top. The front wall is symbolically curved to welcome the congregation on Sundays. Steel, stone and metal have been combined into a harmonious, spacious place of worship.
