Interior Description
History
The area between [Banhoek Road and Merriman Avenue], was what could be called the 'District <br />
Six' of Stellenbosch. It was laid out c1860 on higher ground to house a predominantly Coloured and <br />
Muslim population of tradesmen, which it remained until it was proclaimed a White 'group area' in <br />
the 1960s (Fransen, 2004: 189).
Grouping with other sites
89, 91, 93 Banghoek Road form part of this area.
Evidence of Demolition
Contextual Design
These modest terrace houses, single storey with pitched roofs and street-facing stoeps, as well as
original joinery, in combination create an extremely fine, urban streetscape.

Statement of Significance
These houses contribute to one of the finest streetscapes in the province. They represent one of the
few remaining stretches of building fabric from "Die Vlakte", an area of Stellenbosch from which
people were forcibly removed under the Group Areas Act, and where many structures were
demolished. As a whole, these sites have high contextural, scenic, urban, historical and
social/intangible heritage signifiance.
Landscape Significance
The avenue of oak trees along the street are proclaimed National Monuments.
