Designed by William Henry Stucke in 1904 on Johannesburgâs most important retail intersection, Eloff and Pritchard, Cuthbertâs has weathered decades of neglect to emerge as the centrepiece of Propertuityâs Chambers of Change. It remains one of Johannesburgâs most magnificent buildings: eclectically Victorian, with enchanting architectural details that lead the eye up to a corner turret.
Through a sensitive renovation, its exterior has been renewed and important interior features retained, and this process has been extended to its neighbours too, including one of the Cityâs fabled art deco edifices, Dunvegan Chambers.
We are thrilled to be led on an interior tour of Cuthbertâs by heritage architects Brian Kent McKechnie and Candice Keeling, and also explore the history and architecture of the surrounding area.
This is a tour not to be missed!
