Building in Pretoria, South Africa
Government House of Pretoria
The front entrance of the building
Architectural style Cape Vernacular Style Location Pretoria , South AfricaAddress 970 Stanza Bopape Road Town or city Pretoria Country South Africa Construction started 1902 Construction stopped 1906 Opened 1906 Owner South African Government Architect(s ) Herbert Baker
The Cape vernacular style was taken on as a national building style promoted not only by the Cape coteries but also by proponents of Dutch-speaking republican independence or of Afrikaner nationalism, notably the Dutch Pretoria artist Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef . Over the next few decades most public buildings in South Africa were designed with versions of Cape Dutch gables, with fanlights , mullioned windows, and brass escutcheons, to differing degrees of cost and credibility. William Palmer, 2nd Earl of Selborne would have stayed here as he was the governor of Transvaal.
