Heritage statement and character of the area Background Design Indaba has proposed the construction of a temporary memorial to the Archbishop Emeritus, Desmond Tutu, and a celebration of the Constitution of South Africa, in the form of a 14-member timber arch to be erected at the entrance to Government Avenue, Cape Town, located between St George’s Cathedral and the northern extent of the Houses of Parliament (Figures 1a-b). This location, on Erf 95164,falls within the Parliamentary Precinct, which has been declared a National Heritage Site in terms of the Government Gazette notice No 37535 on 7 April 2014 (Figure 2c). The declaration of the Precinct includes the Houses of Parliament (Erf 95165), Government Avenue (Erf 95164), Stal Plein (Erf 3741) and further erven 9557, 3789, 3790, 3794 and 3798 that extend from the corner of Adderley Street, the proposed location for the arch, to the southernmost part of the Company Gardens. The declaration officially recognises the historical, aesthetic, scientific and social values of each structure, as well as their rarity and embodime nt of notions of representivity. Development of the study area and environs The Company Gardens are one of the earliest remaining landscape interventions of settler origin still present in modern Cape Town, and represent the very reason for the eventual settlement at the Cape, namely the desire of the Dutch East India Company to establish a refreshment station for passing ships (Figures 1c-g). Thus, the Company Gardens represent one of the earliest and most significant examples of European presence in South Africa, and can be viewed as a central hub around which early settler life at the Cape revolved. The Gardens were laid out in accordance with European, and specifically Dutch, pri nciples of order, structure and balance, as is represented in its linearity and symmetricality. The earliest buildings that would have developed around this northern end of the Gardens were the original Dutch Reformed Church, built in 1678, its graveyard, established after the Castle graveyard was closed in 1677, the Slave Lodge, built in 1679, and the Company Hospital, built in 1682 (Patrick et al 2006, NID 356907). Of these, the Slave Lodge (SID 29201) still stands, making it the second oldest building in the country. Church Square (SID 29215) was deliberately created as well, in 1704, as a means of providing access to the Church, and this space remains an open square today. Of the Church itself, only the tower still remains, while the rest of the structure was consumed by the growing Groote Kerk (SID 29230).These three structures are all Grade II Provincial Heritage Sites (Figures 2a-b). The closest and most sensitive of these early buildings is the Slave Lodge, originally built to house Company slaves. While very little is known about the occupants of this building, or what conditions were like inside it, it is known that by 1807, following the abolition of the international slave trade, it was turned into government offices for the British colonial government, at which point some slaves were sold and others manumitted (Abrahams 2000). These very early structures and features were incorporated into the growing city, with alterations and additions, such as the Slave Lodge, and, in some cases, loss of part or all of their original form, such as the Church and the Hospital, respectively. Following this early development, later buildings were erected in this area as the nexus of Cape life. The most significant of these, of course, is the Houses of Parliament, begun in 1884, with later additions in the 1920s and 1980s (Figures 2f-g). These buildings are significant not only for their noteworthy Neoclassical architecture, but also, and more importantly, for their role as the legislative epicentre of South African government, and thereby the site of many monumental political and social events throughout the country’s tumultuous socio-political past. It is this very significance that has ensured that the Houses of Parliament remain the legislative seat of the modern, democratic So uth African government. The other closest, significant building is St George’s Cathedral, a declared Provincial Heritage Site, that was built in 1901 on the site of a pre-existing church dating to 1834 (Figures 1e-g). The Cathedral is stone built, and was designed by Sir Herbert Baker in the Gothic style, but it is for its role in the political history of the country, particularly while under the stewardship of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, that the structure holds significance. It stands as a monument to the role of the churches of the country in standing against apartheid, mobilising opposition marches and providing physical as well as spiritual safe havens for vulnerable people and political activists.

  • The New York Times Magazine
    AWAY Travel November 15, 2020 T H E NEW YORK TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE Haunting new short stories inspired by place SPIRITED BY DESIGN BY pre-apartheid Cape Town, segregation was less formally enforced than it would later become, which meant that Le Roux was able to depict Black men alongside white people in the paintings. But those men were almost always shirtless, often seen from the back or with their faces obscured by a shovel or an arm in motion. The fate of the building over the decades that followed can be seen as a reflection of the history of 20th-century Cape Town itself. Just 16 years after unveiling it, the South African Mutual Life Assurance Society abandoned it for a wealthy suburb, marking the beginning of a larger and devastating exodus from downtown. An array of commercial tenants leased the space as the years passed, but no one knew what to do with the striking, now empty building. By the early 1990s, as apartheid was at last eliminated, most of Cape Town’s businesses had left the city, leaving hollowed out, grandiose structures as a reminder of the wages of the Empire, institutional racism and urban flight. A BROTHER AND sister in their 30s who were raised in the wine business and now live mostly on a vineyard estate nearly two hours from Cape Town grew up with the Art Deco masterpiece and knew of its historical importance long before PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS PEOPLE, PLACES, they imagined that they would one day be part of its story. “I remember feeling a sense of awe over the building’s complexity of history,” says the sister.

  • The Penthouse Mutual Heights Mutual Heights “Penthouse” Cape Town
    HE ENTHOUSE UTUAL EIGHTS T P MUTUAL HEIGHTSM “PENTHOUSE”H CAPE TOWN . WESTERN CAPE . SOUTH AFRICA STUNNING VIEWS OF TABLE MOUNTAIN & THE HARBOUR The Mutual Heights Building, is an internationally recognised art deco jewel. The Penthouse is on the 11th floor of this iconic Building . 14 Darling Street, Cape Town. HISTORY Opened in 1940, the "Mutual Building" (or "Mutual Gebou" in Afri- kaans) was reportedly then the tallest building in Africa (apart from the Pyramids in Egypt), and it had the fastest lifts. They still work, and they are still fast! You can see how it now compares favourably with some of the other tall buildings in the world. The Old Mutual Building has the greatest span between floors - more than five metres. At all levels, the ceil- ings are very high, and in one of the meeting rooms on the eighth level the curtains alone are more than six metres long. The design of the building is attributed largely to Fred Glennie - not widely known outside South Africa, but well known locally at the time. Art Deco is not to everyone's taste, but as incorporated into the design of the Mutual Building it is very, very impressive. Dark marble in the entrance hall, shades of paler marble in the magnifi- cent banking hall, and characteristic stainless steel trim and light fit- tings everywhere. Mutual Heights was one of the first conversions of an office building to residential use in the central business district of Cape Town. In this case, the office building is very special, being one of the fin- est art deco buildings in the southern hemisphere.
