ONE OF THE FIVE heritage homes the Church restored, with its verandah and Tuscan columns, is a prime example of a Pretoria residence from the Edwardian era.

AMONG THE FEATURES the Church restored and returned to their original condition is the bay window on this heritage home, typical of the Edwardian Arts and Crafts style.

THE CHURCH FAITHFULLY restored the work of the skilled craftsmen who left their indelible mark on the turn-of-the-20th century residences, including the Arts and Crafts styled portal windows of textured art glass.

A CENTURY OF PAINT was removed from the wood sashes and mullions preserving the heritage home’s original ten-paned Arts and Crafts windows.

AMONG THE HISTORICAL FEATURES the Church restored in the heritage homes is this cast-iron fireplace with its carved hardwood mantel and ceramic tiles of South Africa’s abundant proteas and hibiscus.

THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY’S NEW HOME comprises five heritage houses on Stanza Bopape Street, neighbouring Union Buildings Gardens. The homes were fittingly employed as residences for architects, artisans and labourers during the construction of the Union Buildings between 1910 and 1913. A century later, the Church meticulously restored the complex of heritage homes to serve Pretoria for generations to come.
