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
-
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.
