Last year there was a change in ownership of Parker's Building in Fish Hoek. The building lies between 1st and 2nd Avenue on Kommetjie Road, across from the Outspan. The new owner, Gavin Webb, gave me access to the building plans. Much to everyone's surprise, the building had been constructed in 1923 for a Mr Stein, a Jewish gentleman.
This book was first published in 1984 by the Swedish Council for Building Research. This is a new second edition. The text remains the same as the original study but it has been updated with colour photographs taken at the time as slides but now reproduced as quality colour photographs. There is a new foreword, preface and postscript.
