SIEMERINK and WALKER

Architect

The partnership in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town from c1927 to 1935 between H SIEMERINK and HAH WALKER. By 1933 they had an office in Cape Town. The partnership was responsible for the design of a number of buildings throughout the Cape Province. In 1930 they were appointed architects to the Provincial Hospital in Port ELizabeth. By this time they had designed the Italianate-styled building for the Netherlands Bank (1927) which must have helped establish the firm's reputation. They carried out a number of buildings for the Port Elizabeth motor industry between 1927 and 1930, including both the Ford Factory and the General Motors Factory (1928).
