The building was once the office of former Joburg mayor DF Corlett (after whom Corlett Drive was named) #Repost @marcinruppert ・・・ Industrial style Sunday 😃 #revitalize #sundayspecial #sundayfunday #joburg #artistic #bigcity #beautifulday #southafrica #artsonmain #architecture #factory #industrial #discover #enjoyeveryday #maboneng #sightseeing #seemore #summerdays #johannesburg #jozi #sunnydays #artcity #joburg #johannesburg
  • An inspiring weekend of @joziwalks exploring Joburg neighbourhoods. Cool shot by @pj_jorgensen #Repost @pj_jorgensen ・・・ Turffontein township, originally laid out in 1889, has two major heritage sites, Turffontein Race Course and the Turffontein Old Fire Station. The Turffontein Race Course foundations for the original grandstands were laid in 1893 however the first race event was likely in 1887. During the South African War of 1899 -1902 the British took it over and used it as a concentration camp for the internment of 5000 Boer women and children. The Old Fire Station's lookout ‘tower’, which then consisted of a cross piece erected between two tall gum trees, offered a generous view of the race course. Using a complicated set of signals the firemen used to make bets at the last minute until the source of their ‘luck’ was discovered by the bookmakers and put an end to it. Hay Street is the main commercial street of Turffontein with a concentration of corner shops and buildings dating back to the early 1900s. One of the suburb's most infamous residents was Daisy de Melker who poisoned two husbands with strychnine for their life insurance and then poisoned her only son with arsenic for reasons which are still unclear. Although accused of three murders she was only convicted of one, that of killing her son and became the second woman to be hanged in South Africa. #joziwalks 2019 exploring the southern suburbs of Turffontein and La Rochelle.
