EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured circa 1902, showcases the iconic Ecksteins Building, also known as the Corner House, situated in the bustling heart of Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, an era marked by architectural innovation and urban development. The Ecksteins Building, a grand edifice, stands proudly at the corner of two bustling streets, its imposing presence a testament to the city's growth and prosperity. The building, adorned with intricate architectural details, boasts a unique blend of Victorian and classical influences. The use of red brick and sandstone in its construction adds to its distinctive character. Scaffolding and hoardings surround the building, indicating ongoing construction work. Posters and advertisements plastered on the hoardings provide a glimpse into the diverse cultural landscape of Johannesburg during this period. The roads are filled with horse-drawn carts and pedestrians, adding to the vibrant energy of the city. The Ecksteins Building, with its impressive facade and historical significance, remains a cherished part of Johannesburg's architectural heritage. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's rich history and the evolution of its urban landscape.
