This landmark building is a fine example of residential units of the late 1920s, featuring Cape Dutch and classical design elements in the decoration of the gables and balconies. Tenants included members of the Johannesburg Country Club, and show-business personalities involved in radio and later TV productions at the SABC. The architect was P. Rogers Cooke, who went on to design major Art Deco buildings in central Johannesburg, and theatres around the country. (Blue plaque inscription)
