Description

Eighty years ago, about 1894, this is what the top of St. George's Street looked like, with the post office then occupying the site at the corner of Church Street later making way for the Cape Times Building, until in recent years it has been renamed Fairbairn Building. The double-storeyed building on the immediate right was re-built into the Argus Building. The handsome old St. George's Cathedral has long since been demolished.
