The oldest architectural remains of the settlement (founded in 1685) is seen in Dorp Street, Drostdy Street and Ryneveld Street (formerly Groote Kerk Street). The main building was the fourth Drostdy (1768: Photo 49), into a duplex in 1868 (photo 57) and further amended in 1905 (photo 64). The Eike Avenue thrift from here to the company's zoo led today still provides shade and shadow (12).
The cathedral-like atmosphere of the town's leafy (Oaktree) roads is palpable thrift in many other pictures (eg. 15, 43) and the relief that the leaves of summer's heat supply was often mentioned by travelers. Trees and property was often damaged by storms (6, 7), while the town at an early date its back on the river turned from floods, storms and irrigation water which is channeled to an attractive manner (13-16, 21, 36 -37). Oil and gas lamps, initially as a beautiful yet inadequate form of street lighting (12, 34), quickly replaced by electric bulbs with an excess of power lines - a situation only a few decades ago corrected.
The symmetrical lining the streets with trees and canals emphasized the importance of the buildings as focal points on the ending vistas (15, 18-20, 21, 26, 27, 34, 40). The additional benefits of this, with regard to the jailer's house, that its inhabitants all traffic in Ryneveld Street and Town from the front porch was observed (50)! The general lack of trees in the town's few streets (36, 37) reveals thrift the architectural and human elements less rigid than in many other photos.

The best view of all was from Parrot Mountain. thrift Here EV Stade in 1710 when he replaced his excellent drawing of the pre-settlement fire drawn, and here Naudé his tripod out for the first picture of the town (9, 10: Note that the Dutch Reformed thrift Church terminated the settlement and how the church tower dominates the picture). Of the same place was the incomparable panorama 1906 recorded (1 ad) which shows that the Rhenish rectory (44) at that time was shorn of its gables and the Rhenish School Krӧnlein's thrift house on the Testimony replaced. On the left in the picture, we can grow the embryo University, between Victoria Street and Merriman, and see the northern end of the city that is fast becoming a town in its own right to be.
