De Villiers Street

During lunch time at Metrorail, José and I took a walk to the “other side” of Park Station. Here we found beautiful buildings that are in a sad state of neglect. Along De Villiers Street we found this building. It looks that it was once part of the old south station and is now used by the Freedom Community School. Look at the elephants and the castings images of the Great Trek. There even was a wonderful old church with this large rose window which next time I would take a picture of.
