EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases the grandeur and elegance of the Opera House located on Pretorius Street in Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, where the city's architectural beauty is on full display. The Opera House, a neoclassical masterpiece, boasts an impressive portico with intricate ironwork and a balustrade that adorns the balcony. The building's classical design is further accentuated by the columns and pediments that frame the entrance. The shops and stores along the street, with their ornate facades, add to the charm of the scene. The pavement in front of the Opera House is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily business. The grills in front of some of the shops suggest that they may have been selling food or goods, while others may have been retail establishments. The image also reveals a tea room, where patrons can be seen enjoying a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Opera House, with its rich history and stunning architecture, has stood the test of time and remains a cherished landmark in Pretoria. This photograph is a testament to the city's past and the enduring beauty of its architectural heritage.
