It has an interesting gable of the Belgian type, and good slave quarters and cattle enclosures. It now belongs to Mr. Bosnian.
THE TOWN HALL OF CAPE TOWN (Plate XVII.) was buih by Governor Ryk Tulbagh. Its attractiveness, as that of many of the colonial buildings, greatly consists in the repetition of the large windows with their handsome wooden frames and fanlights. Outside, along with the arms of the Colony, hang the coat of arms of Van Riebeeck, the first Dutch Commander of the Cape. They we...re presented to the town by the last Dutch governor. Commissioner de Mist, with the suggestion that the name of Cape Town should be altered to Riebeeckstad.
THE OLD PARSONAGE AT PAARL (Plate XVIII.) is a late eighteenth century house. It is mentioned by Sir John Barrow, F.R.S., in 1806. The township lies under the shadow of the Paarl (or Pearl) mountain, so called from the shining mass of granite on its summit. First peopled by the poorer French colonists and others drafted on from the earlier and more populous colony of Stellenbosch, there are few interesting old houses in the immediate neighbourhood.
