EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the impressive South African Railway (SAR) Offices located at the corner of Rissik Street and De Villiers Street in the heart of Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa. The architectural grandeur of the building is evident with its large, imposing facade, adorned with intricate balustrades and ornate balconies. The use of materials such as cocoa-hued bricks, linoleum, and houten (wooden) elements adds to the building's distinctive character. The bustling city scene outside the offices comes alive with a mix of transportation modes. Horse-drawn carriages share the road with motorized vehicles, creating a unique blend of old and new. People go about their daily business on the pavement, some carrying handcarts laden with goods. The vibrant energy of the city is palpable, as traffic flows smoothly around the corner, adding to the sense of movement and progress. The SAR Offices served as the hub of railway operations in Johannesburg during the 1910s, playing a crucial role in the development and expansion of the city's transportation infrastructure. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of Johannesburg and the Transvaal region during an era of significant growth and transformation.
