EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grand interior of the Concert Hall at the Caledon Sanatorium in South Africa, dating back to 1908. The Caledon Sanatorium, located in the picturesque town of Caledon in the Cape Colony, was a leading health institution during the early 1900s, renowned for its treatment of tuberculosis patients. The Concert Hall, with its spacious and airy design, was a unique feature of the sanatorium. Designed to provide a respite for patients, the large room was adorned with bare floorboards and matting, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere. The room was furnished with long tables and chairs, arranged to accommodate numerous guests. The windows, framed by heavy drapes, allowed ample natural light to filter in, creating a bright and open space. The Concert Hall was not only used for patients but also served as a venue for various social events and concerts. The photograph shows a group of people gathered around a table, engaged in conversation, while others sit at adjacent tables, reading or writing. The room's acoustics were excellent, making it an ideal location for musical performances. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of the Caledon Sanatorium and the lives of its patients during the early 1900s. The Concert Hall, with its simple yet elegant design, remains a testament to the institution's commitment to the health and wellbeing of its patients, as well as their overall quality of life.
