Bertram House

The Bertram House (Afrikaans: Bertram Huis), located on Hiddingh Campus, of the University of Cape Town on Government Avenue, in Gardens, is the only surviving unpainted red brick two-story house left from early Georgian architecture in the city. The house has a special place in the history of the South African architecture. In 1962, it was declared a national monument, and today remains a provincial heritage site in accordance with the National Heritage Resources Act (25/1999). In 1839, John Barker, an attorney who had emigrated from Yorkshire to Cape Colony in 1823, purchased the land. He built his family home there from 1839 to 1854 and named it after his wife, Ann Bertram Findlay, who had died in 1838. After the house passed through several families, the University of Cape Town used it for offices from 1903 onward. In 1930, the building became state property, and in 1976, it was placed at the disposal of the South African Cultural History Museum. In 1983 and 1984, the building was thoroughly restored. Ornamental bricks were introduced and slate was imported from Wales to bring the facade to its original glory. At the same time, the interior was repainted in the original dark green and ocher. The lobby is decorated in the Regency style. Since then, it has operated as a museum. The museum is the home of the Anne Lidderdale Collection, which includes Georgian furniture and English and Chinese porcelain donated by some of the leading English families of the early 19th-century Cape. Nowadays, beadwork and postage stamps are exhibited, and the building is known for book launches and music concerts. Sources Oberholster, J.J.. Die historiese monumente van Suid-Afrika.

Oude stadhuis (Kaapstad)

Het Oude Stadhuis (Afrikaans: Ou Stadhuis, Engels: Old Town House), ook wel Oud Burgerwachthuis (Afrikaans: Ou Burgerwaghuis, Engels: Old Burgher Watch House) genoemd, is een museum aan Groentemarkplein (Engels: Greenmarket Square) in Kaapstad. Het is gebouwd als onderkomen voor de burgerwacht en deed later dienst als politierechtbank en stadhuis. Op 10 maart 1710 besloot de Burgerraad het huidige Groentemarkplein aan te leggen. Op de plaats van het Oude Stadhuis stond kort na 1716 al een kleiner, één bouwlaag tellend gebouw met een rieten dak, dat ook toen al dienstdeed als onderkomen voor de Burgerwacht (een politiemacht ten dienste van de "vrije burgers" van Kaapstad). In de jaren 1740 besloot men dit gebouw uit te breiden met een verdieping en het een plat dak te geven om ruimte te bieden aan de militaire uitrusting van de wacht. De eerste steen van dit nieuwe gebouw werd in 1755 gelegd door Baerndt Artoijs, lid van de Raad van Justitie. In 1756 trokken Burgerwacht en Burgerraad in het gebouw, dat in 1761 voltooid werd. De kosten bedroegen 33.000 VOC-gulden. De architect van het gebouw is onbekend, maar het houtsnijwerk in de bovenlichten van de ramen is toe te schrijven aan de Groninger Johannes Struwing. In 1764 legde tekenaar Johannes Rach het nieuwe gebouw vast: een twee bouwlagen tellend gebouw met aan de voorzijde vijf muurvlakken en een decoratieve, rococo borstwering met daarop zes vazen (zie afbeelding links). Van 1796 tot 1826 kwam de Burgersenaat in het gebouw samen. In 1804 werd het beeld van Justitia boven de balkondeur vervangen door een houten bord beschilderd met het wapen van Kaapstad, dat in 1915 vervangen werd door een bepleisterd reliëf. In 1808 werd onder leiding van Johannes Schutte de rococo borstwering vervangen door een eenvoudiger exemplaar, die naar het midden toe oploopt. Ook voegde hij de tegenwoordige klokkentoren toe (zie afbeelding rechts). Van 1828 tot 1839 was het gebouw in gebruik als politierechtbank en in 1840, toen Kaapstad een gemeente werd, werd het een stadhuis, wat het tot 1905 zou blijven, toen het huidige stadhuis voltooid werd. In 1917 werd de Michaelis Collectie van oude Nederlandse en Vlaamse kunst erin ondergebracht, na een restauratie door de architect J.M. Solomon. Solomon was ook verantwoordelijk voor het huidige interieur, dat gebaseerd is op het zeventiende-eeuwse Nederlandse stadhuis. Boven op het gebouw is een zogenaamde dakkamer gebouwd.

King's House (Durban)

Dr. John Dube house in Durban is the third official residence of the President of South Africa and the Deputy President of South Africa when they visit KwaZulu-Natal. It is built in an Edwardian style. The design of the building was carried out by A.E. Dainton, Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works and an architectural firm, Stott and Kirby. The construction of the residence was announced in 1901 by Mayor John Nicol with £15,000 voted for the building which was later changed to £28,000. The residence was completed in 1904. Its first resident was Sir Henry Bale, then Chief Justice of Natal, who moved into the house on June 29, 1904. The house was also used to accommodate the British royal family on their 1947 visit to South Africa. In 2012, President Jacob Zuma renamed the property, King’s House to Dr John L. Dube House, to honour Dr John Langalibalele Dube who was an educationist, journalist and first President of the ruling African National Congress. The building was as unfit for human habitation following flood damage as a result of storms in the area in 2016. It has been suggested that the president gives up the property to the King of the Zulus, Misuzulu kaZwelithini to use as his official Durban residence. References

Dutch Reformed Church, Hofmeyr

The Dutch Reformed Church in Hofmeyr is a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in the north of the area of the NG Church in the Eastern Cape, which had only 138 professing members in 2012 and about 110 at the end of 2015. The center of gravity of the congregation is the town of Hofmeyr on the R390, located 65 km (40 mi) from Cradock and 46 km (29 mi) from Steynsburg. The church is painted in a coral pastel color, which some perceive as pink, due to a combination of factors including the presence of other buildings in pastel colors in the town at the time of its first painting, and an artist's advice to match the color of the local red lime scale and coral sunsets. Background Around 1870, one Daniel Marais lived on a farm on the borders of the districts of Cradock and Albert (with Burgersdorp as its centre). These two towns are about 160 km (99 mi) apart. In carrying out his duties as deacon of the Dutch Reformed Church in Burgersdorp, he discovered that there were young people in his area between the ages of 14 and 16 who had never seen the inside of a church or school. He consequently decided that this situation could no longer continue and because the people could not be brought to the distant towns, he came to the conviction that the church and school had to be brought to the people. In order to bring the school and church to the people, part of the farm Droefontein was purchased from a farmer, Gert Hendrik Petrus de Bruin, and the town of Maraisburg was laid out on it in 1873.

Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk (Pearston)

De Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in Pearston is een parochie van de Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK) in de Oost-Kaap. In 1850 begon John Pears, dominee binnen de NGK in het nabijgelegen Somerset, met misvieringen op de boerderij Rustenburg. Deze was gelegen op de oever van de Vogelrivier en toen in eigendom van Casparus Jacobus Lötter. De misvieringen werden gehouden in de schaduw van een grote perenboom. In 1858 kocht de kerkgemeenschap een deel van de boerderij met de bedoeling er een dorp te stichten. Het stuk land werd opgedeeld in een deel dat door de kerk gebruikt ging worden en in percelen die in de verkoop gingen. Omdat het dorp Pearston als kerkdorp gesticht werd en de parochie ouder is dan de nederzetting, dankt het dorp Pearston zijn naam dus aan de parochie, en niet andersom zoals meestal het geval is.
Dutch Reformed Church, Victoria West

The Dutch Reformed Church in Victoria West is a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Northern Cape province. It is the 31st oldest congregation in the Church. Foundation In 1843 the extensive wards of Nieuwveld and Uitvlucht belonged to the large congregation of Beaufort West. The zealous Rev. Colin Fraser visited the farm Kapoksfontein from time to time and held outdoor church there. Following a memorandum submitted to the church council to declare Zeekoegat a separate congregation, the Presbytery Commission of Graaff-Reinet purchased this farm on 17 August 1844 for 23 000 rixdaalders and converted the house into an emergency church. On 24 August 1844 the parish was named Victoria in honour of the then young British queen. Erven were sold to the town and 9 000 morgen of land was transferred in 1845 in the name of the church council. Ministers W.A.
