History
"The block, which was the site of the original church, was subdivided in 1783. The gateway was probably constructed in the garden wall by the first owner. It had the same plasterwork as the gables on the homesteads of Ida's Valley and Vredenburg-Vlottenberg (both 1789). (Oberholster)"
Alterations
"""It was recently repaired, whereby all ornamental plasterwork was inadvertently removed and reconstructed inaccurately."" (Fransen & Cook, p.144). Compare present appearance with AF Trotter drawing in the William Fehr Collection and Elliot photograph in Hans Fransen"
