West Street Durban 1977 (2)

Abstract

• Opsomming: Soos dit in menige vooruitstrewende stad die geval is, is dit haas onmoontlik om 'n kenmerkende karakter in die Durbanse middestad aan te dui, want ontwikkeling maak dit dikwels noodsaaklik dat bekende geboue gesloop word. Interessante strukture in die stadsdeel wat in hierdie artikel bespreek word, is onder meer die Trustgebou en die geboue van Standard Bank, Adams Stationers and Booksellers, Greenacres, Colombo Tea and Coffee Shop, Chix, die Natalse Kollege vir Gevorderde Tegniese Onderwys en die gebou van die Studente-Unie.• Summary: As with many progressive towns, it is difficult to characterize the city centre of Durban, since development often necessitates the demolition of well-known landmarks. Structures of interest discussed in this article include the Trust Building, the Standard Bank, Adams Stationers and Booksellers, Greenacres, Colombo Tea and Coffee Shop, Chix, the Natal College for Advanced Technical Education and the Students' Union.
