(FRIBA nom papers 1906; Jnl ATA Sep 1916:27; Building Jun 1918:163 ill) Transcription of Blue Plaque: JOHANNESBURG ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY ENDSTEAD This beautifully scaled home was designed by Ernest Wilmott Sloper in 1903 for himself when he joined Herbert Baker as a partner. They shared the Arts and Crafts philosophy and all the projects in the burgeoning practice, but Baker credited Sloper with the patience to teach stone- masons. The first to lecture in architecture in Johannesburg, Sloper imbued his students with his philosophy and restraint.
