JOHANNESBURG ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY
176 GALTEEMORE STREET
Designed in 1933 for Mrs Anna Fogal by Nelly
Edwards, Johannesburg's first female practising
architect, 176 Galteemore Street grandly occupies
three stands. It is a tour de force of art deco style.
Brightly coloured tiles in geometric patterns adorn
the fireplaces and bathroom, boldly patterned
stained glass windows are to be found in almost
every room, and the house contains the
very modern convenience of a
telephone cupboard.
