The Victoria Tower in Caledon Street in Uitenhage was built as Public Building between 1896 and 1898. It was named after Queen Victoria who was the ruling monarch at that stage and used to house the law courts.
Great that the building is kept in good condition - my late father-in-law was the magistrate in Uitenhage during the 50's, and had his office there. Louise, PE
