of the matter when the fate of the building was tabled before the Heritage Western Cape (HWC) Impact Assessment Committee on Wednesday 10 July. “A total demolition was discussed and would have had the committee’s support, which I find unbelievable,” Hislop says. He adds that this is one of the remaining old buildings in the community. According to residents, the building, with its façade at the top, holds heritage significance for the area and should be preserved. “How did they come to this decision when

it is one of the finest remaining buildings lining Victoria Road? “The committee should be protecting the few heritage sites that are left in Cape Town, and Victoria Road, specifically,” adds Hislop.

Nieuwoudt says HWC would have had regard for both the statement of the significance of the building, as well as its current condition. “The City of Cape Town is currently considering the demolition and building plan cases, but we can confirm that neither has been approved yet,” she says.
