Abstract:

Front elevation and facade plan of the Cape Dutch Lutheran Parsonage (now Martin Melck House) on Strand Street in Cape Town, drawn by Rex Martienssen for prof. Geoffrey Pearse's book "Eighteenth Century Architecture in South Africa" – see page 41 for a description, and Plate 25 for the drawing. It depicts an unusual example of a two storey house with a roof room, which is topped by a pediment and flanked by decorative scrolls.
