JOHANNESBURG CITY HERITAGE
ARTS ON MAIN
This building began in 1911 as a bonded
liquor warehouse for William McBain. Later
the front offices were used by the construction
company of D.F. Corlett, master-builder and
Mayor of Johannesburg from 1931-'32. Arts on
Main was redeveloped by Propertuity in 2009 as a
pioneering arts centre, combining five consolidated
warehouses, and designed by Architects Daffonchio
and Associates. It was from here that the
Maboneng Precinct spread.
