WESTCLIFF HERITAGE
CASTLE RIDGE
Prominently sited on the peak of the
Westcliff ridge, the aptly named Castle Ridge
is a fine example of late Edwardian residential
architecture abounding in hammer-dressed stone
from the Westcliff Ridge itself. It rises from the
rocks to take up a commanding position with
splendid views.
It was designed in 1927 by pioneering
Johannesburg architects Stucke and Harrison
for the timber merchant Samuel Schneier
and his wife Taube, who lived here
for 32 years.
