United Hebrew Institutions Bloemfontein, Free State BRYER, SCHULTZ and RODD: Architect

Date: 1965 Status: Unknown

'An arresting and original building' having a 'taut skin of brickwork' (Greig, 1971: 87). The anonymity of the exterior is off-set by unexpected romanticism of a richly furnished interior with decorative acoustic strips giving effect to the white walls. All truncated references not fully cited below are those of Joanna Walker's original text and cited in full in the 'Bibliography' entry of the Lexicon. References: Greig, Doreen. 1971.
