Lyndon Hall Parktown

This luxurious and elegant apartment building, designed by P Rogers Cooke for Janeal (Pty) Ltd was built in 1944, and given the name of the 1911 house which it replaced. Commissioned by Michael Miller, co-founder of OK Bazaars, and his wife Jane, Lyndon Hall echoed the sophisticated lifestyle they experienced in New York. The asymmetrical façade reflects the division between very large apartments to the north and much smaller flats on the south side for senior staff or employees. (Blue plaque)
