SHERWOOD and DAVIDGE-PITTS

Architect

EJ SHERWOOD and HD PITTS were listed in partnership in Cape Town in 1903. In 1905 they won the competition for the Dutch Reformed Church building in Noorder Paarl and were placed second and third in the competitions for the Cape of Good Hope Savings Bank and for the Cape Town Baths respectively. The partnership seems to have come to an end about 1907/1908.
