Bo-Kaap Museum, 71 Wale Street, Cape Town

This beautiful building is one of a few remaining examples of the small “huurhuisjes” (rental houses) erected in 1768 by Jan de Waal in the upper portion of Wale Street. Restored in 1975 by the City Engineer’s Department, one of the unique features of this early house is the curvilinear baroque gable.
​

The original Cape Dutch teak windows, doors and double fanlight with radiating glazing bars and lantern were restored, as were the yellowwood floor and ceiling boards. A reinforced concrete roof slab was placed over the earlier fabric and covered in a lime cement to simulate the original covering of shell lime and seashells. Fittings that required replacement were patterned on old Cape Dutch examples.

    I started my 'journey' with Scraperboard or Scratchboard Art in 1968. Since then I have been working exclusively in this medium.
