| 9/2/094/0001 | Drostdy, Tulbagh | The design bears little resemblance to the local architecture of the time. The small elliptical gable on short pilasters is dated 1804. There is a straight gable at the back, obviously mid-19th century. The Drostdy has a large hall. The full depth of the Construction began in 1804 on the farm Rietvlei that had belonged to a Hercules du Pré. The ex-landdrost, Bletterman of Stellenbosch, originally drew up plans for the Drostdy, but after some progress had been made, by order of landdrost Van de Graaff the design was changed to a plan by Louis- Michel Thibault. Much to the concern of Governor Janssens, the building took longer and cost more to be completed than had been anticipated, being finally finished in 1807. It is one of the few extant buildings at the Cape of which Thibault is the undisputed architect. The Drostdy had already fallen into a state of disrepair by 1822, a reason put forward for making Worcester the seat of the drostdy instead of Tulbagh. The Drostdy was sold to a young settler named Heatlie, after which it remained a private dwelling with a small farm. Towards the end of the century it again fell into disrepair, but was restored by Sir Meiring and Lady Beck. It burnt down in the mid-1930s, and was again restored. The 1969 Tulbagh earthquake caused further extensive damage. It was then acquired by the National Monuments Council and, during 1973, restored for the third time. The building is now in use as offices, reception rooms and museum The outbuildings flanking the dwelling have been demolished; the one on the right since having been rebuilt. Type of site: Drostdy. | Tulbagh | Tulbagh | Provincial Heritage Site | 33°16′43″S 19°07′57″E﻿ / ﻿33.278496°S 19.132610°E﻿ / -33.278496; 19.132610﻿ (SAHRA identifier 9/2/094/0001 - Drostdy, Tulbagh) | The design bears little resemblance to the local architecture of the time.

| 9/2/094/0004 | De Oude Bakkereij, 43 Van der Stel Street, Tulbagh | This house stands on the land bought from the Church by Jacob de Bruyn in 1796. It was probably built by Christiaan Willem Broodryk, who bought the top half in 1805. It is T-shaped, like no 22 Church St, with which it stands back to back. Its gable, preserved intact until the 1969 tremors made part of it collapse, is holbol but topped by a 3-lobed pediment with a vase on its face. The house had been restored previously – when it was turned into a library – but the sash windows which were then inserted were incorrect. The Simon van der Stel Foundation bought the house and had it restored. Type of site: House Previous use: Residential.

| 9/2/094/0005 | Old Dutch Reformed Mission Church, Van der Stel Street, Tulbagh | History: Tulbagh Mission Society was founded as early as 1797, though a missionary only arrived in 1811. He was Rev Arie Vos, who was attached to the London Missionary Society. He was later joined by the Rhenish missionary Gustav Zahn. In 1842 the mission was taken over by the Rhenish Mission Society. The modest chapel built in 1814 was replaced in 1844, on a piece of land donated by W. Vos. The foundation stone of this Mission Church in the Neo-Gothic style was laid in July 1844 and the church was consecrated on 2 April 1845. The fund-raising for and erection of the building was under the supervision of the Rev. G. Zahn. A bell tower was added after 1890. Visual Description: It is a fairly large, rectangular building, originally with a thatch roof. It has Gothic Revival details: buttresses, slender pointed windows, etc. The bell-tower alongside is a later structure; though it was made to match the church, it is rather crude in design. Under the Group Areas Act the Coloured congregation (now under the DR Mission Church) has vacated its old premises. The church was damaged in 1969, but has been restored. | Tulbagh | Tulbagh | Provincial Heritage Site | 33°17′02″S 19°08′21″E﻿ / ﻿33.283871°S 19.139031°E﻿ / -33.283871; 19.139031﻿ (SAHRA identifier 9/2/094/0005 - Old Dutch Reformed Mission Church, Van der Stel Street, Tulbagh) | History: Tulbagh Mission Society was founded as early as 1797, though a missionary only arrived in 1811.

| 9/2/094/0013 | Mon Bijou, 36 Church Street, Tulbagh | The Rev. Arnoldus M. Meiring (1743-1757) built his parsonage about one kilometre north of the little church that had been erected in the "Land of Waveren" at the middle of the eighteenth century. It stands to reason that a roadway came into being between the church and the parsonage. In the course of time the church came into possession of considerable land along this road which became known as Church Street. In 1796 the church was enlarged, and the Church Council subdivided its land along Church Street into five plots which were sold to defray the cost of the new church. De Wet House on the east side of the street is situated on one of these erven. It is one of the most dignified old buildings in Tulbagh. Catherina Magaretha de Wet had this house built about 1812. She was the widow of Jacobus de Wet, the owner of a farm, Straatskerk, a few kilometres west of Tulbagh. When her husband died in about 1807, she went to live in the town. The house is double-storeyed and shows a remarkable resemblance to Grosvenor House in Stellenbosch. Built on high foundations, it towers above the surrounding buildings. It is ascribed to Louis Michel Thibault, the well-known architect who was a frequent visitor to Tulbagh because his wife’s family lived there. Moreover, the house bears unmistakeable features of his style—the high stoep; the fine, clear-cut plasterwork; the façade and the arched roof over the stairs. After Mrs. De Wet’s death the property was bought by Pieter Francois Theron in 1822. It then passed successively to Frederik L. C. Engels, David J. de Vaal, Bernardus J. de Vaal, Adriaan Moorrees, J. P. Moller, A. J. van Wyk, C. A. Myburgh and G. C. Theron. By 1949 the old house was fairly dilapidated and in danger of being altered out of recognition but it was purchased and restored by Sir Alfred Beit on the advice of Dr. Mary Cook.

| 9/2/094/0016 | Ballotina, 43 Church Street, Tulbagh | This house was probably designed by the well-known Thibault and built in 1815 for the widow of the Reverend H. W. Ballot. The strange geometric gable is exceptional. Elizabeth Wilhelmina Cruywagen, widow of Ds H. W. Ballot, after her husband's death in 1814, applied for a piece of land to build a house – she had to vacate the parsonage – all land E of Church St had already been sold, subdivided and built upon. Therefore, land was allotted on the W side of the street, opposite the pastorie, and surveyed by the younger Schutte – the boundary runs through a corner of the house. The actual grant is dated 1818. The house is U-shaped, but differs in many ways from others of its time. It has its long back-wings close together, with space only for a 2,8 m wide passage, which was roofed over from the beginning, and is the continuation of the entrance passage – the house never had a wide voorhuis, but may have had screen-like double doors with glazed upper parts. The narrow front elevation consisted of a vertically divided front door with only one large sash window on either side (this elevation was later completely changed, but could be accurately reconstructed, also because the original sliding sashes were discovered by Dr Mary Cook, present owner of the house, on a farm nearby). The great height of the ceilings in the house is also unusual. Though the side gables are of the traditional holbol type and those at the back are straight, the front gable, which in spite of the many later alterations was never removed, is unlike anything else in Church St. It has a central projecting section, crowned with a wide, segmental pediment like that of Groot Constantia, but with concave-convex lower outlines. The string-course is sharply stepped up at the ends. Part of the gable face had grooves to suggest ashlared stonework. (The date 1815 used to be faintly legible under the red paint with which the whole facade was at one time covered.) All these features suggest that a designer more sophisticated than those responsible for the other Church St houses (except, of course, no 36) was involved in building Ballotina. Who was he? Louis-Michel Thibault, the architect of the Drostdy, must have been a frequent visitor to Tulbagh during the years 1805-1807. Later, in 1812, he did work there as a land-surveyor. His wife was both a first cousin and sister-in-law of Mrs Ballot, and he could have stayed nowhere but at the Parsonage whenever he was in Tulbagh. After Ballot's death he may have provided her with a stock plan, to be carried out by local builders (he died in the year the house was built), or else he may already have given it to Ballot himself, to be used for a house to retire in. (For the pediment, cp that of the Drostdy and for the plan, cp Saasveld.) From 1870 till 1905, Ballotina was used by the State School founded by the Divisional Council. The house was restored in 1972. Type of site: House Previous use: Residential.

Though the side gables are of the traditional holbol type and those at the back are straight, the front gable, which in spite of the many later alterations was never removed, is unlike anything else in Church St. It has a central projecting section, crowned with a wide, segmental pediment like that of Groot Constantia, but with concave-convex lower outlines. The string-course is sharply stepped up at the ends. Part of the gable face had grooves to suggest ashlared stonework. (The date 1815 used to be faintly legible under the red paint with which the whole facade was at one time covered.) All these features suggest that a designer more sophisticated than those responsible for the other Church St houses (except, of course, no 36) was involved in building Ballotina. Who was he? Louis-Michel Thibault, the architect of the Drostdy, must have been a frequent visitor to Tulbagh during the years 1805-1807. Later, in 1812, he did work there as a land-surveyor. His wife was both a first cousin and sister-in-law of Mrs Ballot, and he could have stayed nowhere but at the Parsonage whenever he was in Tulbagh. After Ballot's death he may have provided her with a stock plan, to be carried out by local builders (he died in the year the house was built), or else he may already have given it to Ballot himself, to be used for a house to retire in. (For the pediment, cp that of the Drostdy and for the plan, cp Saasveld.) From 1870 till 1905, Ballotina was used by the State School founded by the Divisional Council. The house was restored in 1972. Type of site: House Previous use: Residential. Current use: Residential. Media related to 43 Church Street, Tulbagh at Wikimedia Commons |

| 9/2/094/0021 | Old Church Museum, Tulbagh | History: Just beyond the picturesque Tulbagh Kloof the road veers left and crosses the line at the railway station. Here one enters the Tulbagh basin, formerly called the Land of Waveren. It is an area rich with history—a history best exemplified by the old church, now a museum. Because the old passes were so difficult to negotiate, the pion cattle farmers in this area lived in great isolation, cut off especially from church and cultural activities; those that trekked down the Breede River were even more out of contact with the church or the government. Commissioner Gustav van Imhoff believed that the church was one of the most powerful cohesive forces in a community and recommended that more churches should be built in the interior of the country. In this way the Roodezand congregation came to be established in 1743. In the same year the Rev. Arnoldus Mauritius Meiring, the progenitor of the Meiring family in South Africa, . arrived at the Cape from the Netherlands. After an eventful voyage during which he lost his wife, he was appointed minister to the Roodezand congregation. Mr. Meiring’s first task was to give effect to Van Imhoff’s recommendation that a church should be built there. A simple little cruciform church was designed. Much of thç material, including the typical small so- called "Batavian" bricks, was imported from Holland, and the floor was paved with slate. The building was done, for the most part, by two members of the con gregation, Jacs. Theron and Francois du Toit; the brickwork and the solid woodwork hear witness to their skill. In 1796 the church was enlarged by extending the front by 3 metres and building a gallery. At the same time the fine baroque gable was built, as well as an attractive boundary wall round the church and graveyard. Mr. Meiring served the congregation until his death on 23 April 1757. The church and its original pulpit remained in use until 1878. After Mr. Meiring’s death he was succeeded by the Rev. R. Harders (1758-1774); the Rev. J. A. Kuys (1777-1787 and 1789-1794); the Rev. M. C. Vos (1794-1802); the Rev. H. W. Ballot (1803-1814); the Rev. J. J. Kicherer (1814-1825); Dr. George Thom (1825-1833); the Rev. Robert Shand (1834-1871) and the Rev. W. Rdbertson (1871-1883). When a new and bigger church was built in 1878, the "old" church served as school and as a hall for holding bazaars and other activities and in 1925 it became an historical museum." Visual Description: It had a plan in the shape of a Greek cross, as was traditional for the earliest Cape churches (except Drakenstein and the first one in Stellenbosch). This was an appropriate adaptation of the wing-construction of the Cape farmsteads to the centralized Protestant 'pulpit churches' of the Netherlands. In 1795 the church was enlarged (out of money raised by selling Church St.erven and by borrowing from the Moederkerk in the Cape) by the addition of about 3 m to the length of the E arm, which now became the front, the original entrance having been at the S, turned away from the street and towards the former course of the wagon road. The W wing was extended by a similar distance; this became the vestry. Galleries were built in the 3 other arms. At the same time the gable over the new entrance was built, an ornate holbol one of the type that, nearer Cape Town, would have belonged to the 1780s; it is unusual in being used as an end-gable here. The ends of the other 3 arms are half-hipped. The plaster pediment over the wide, vertically divided door, as well as the pilasters and swags flanking it and the heavy architrave, probably also date from this time, though stylistically they clash with the ornate baroque gable, as do the urn and swag on its face. But this, of course, can be expected in this transition period and far from the Cape. The windows have half-round heads. The interior of the church is of great simplicity and dignity of atmosphere. There is no ceiling, and the roof timbers are left exposed. The flagged slate floor is fairly recent and replaced a clay floor, such as nearly all Tulbagh houses originally had. Of great beauty is the pulpit, of stinkwood and beefwood, with its octagonal canopy and barley-sugar-turned posts. It may date from the earliest years of the existence of the church and, if so, is the oldest extant pulpit in the country. It was well restored by Lady Beck. In the churchyard, surrounded by a white wall – erected in 1795 – stands an early burial vault. The church fell into disuse as such in 1878, when a new one, by Hager, was taken into use (since demolished). After having been used as a school for a couple of years, it stood empty and fell into disrepair – not improved by the reputed use made of it during the Boer War, namely to house English troops. The old church was restored in 1914 and again in 1923 after it had, on the initiative of Lady Meiring Beck, been decided to turn it into a museum. After minor earthquake damage in 1969 it was once again restored, whereby some previous mistakes – eg the gate pillars – could be undone, and the date 1743 on the gable changed back to 1795.

| 9/2/094/0039 | 12 Church Street, Tulbagh | History: Built between 1754 and 1756 by the surgeon Nicolaas Fuchs, the house is the oldest in Tulbagh. After Fuch’s death two years later the Kerkraad bought the property and the house he had built on it, in order to accommodate the newly arrived "voorleser" H. A. Bruggeman. A buitekamer was used as school room and in 1818 a separate room was built for this purpose behind the house and connected with it by means of a flat roofed section. The house remained church property until 1875, when it was bought by W. Theron, father of SA War hero Danie Theron. Visual Description: Due to the slightly oblique placing of the house in relation to Church Street, it is clear that the house predates the laying of this street. Its fenestration is irregular and the pointed gable which is peculiar to Tulbagh is probably 19th century. The house was extensively Victorianised, but has been returned to its appearance circa 1861.

| 9/2/094/0045 | 42 Church Street, Tulbagh | History: This erf, the most N of those sold by the Kerkraad in 1796, was bought by Hendrik Vos, brother of the predikant at the time (who lived in the parsonage, across the road, and was therefore his neighbour). When the predikant left a few years later, however, Hendrik sold the property, with a house on it. It changed hands. frequently until it was acquired by the break-away Kruisvallei congregation in 1870, to serve as their parsonage. For a while, therefore, the ministers of the 2 rival factions had to pass each other every Sunday on their way to their respective churches. The house later also served as hostel for school children; it was then given an upper floor and other additions. These were all undone during the 1971-1972 restoration, as well as Victorian details. The house features prominently in a drawing by Burchell done in 1811, and its N aspect could be reconstructed accordingly. The front gable, however, is not clearly visible in the 1861 photograph; it was rebuilt very similarly to those of nos 24 and 26. The house was bought by Rembrandt and is used for public gatherings. | Tulbagh | Tulbagh | Provincial Heritage Site | 33°17′10″S 19°08′19″E﻿ / ﻿33.286115°S 19.138527°E﻿ / -33.286115; 19.138527﻿ (SAHRA identifier 9/2/094/0045 - 42 Church Street, Tulbagh) | History: This erf, the most N of those sold by the Kerkraad in 1796, was bought by Hendrik Vos, brother of the predikant at the time (who lived in the parsonage, across the road, and was therefore his neighbour).
