9/2/081/0017	Villa Capri, 86 Main Road, St James, Cape Town	The ground on which this house stands was granted to Johan Hendrik Muller on 4 April 1814. The house was presumably built as early as 1795. It is very probable that in the course of its long life the house has had some alterations, for instance the kitchen has been modernised and brick lean-to rooms were built on at the rear, probably in this century. The entrance which used to be at the side has been changed to the front and some very inappropriate steps were added in the front. The main structure, however, it remains basically unchanged. The house is on the lines of most of those built in the early days of Kalk Bay— a long front, with a step running the full length, and a hipped thatched roof. It is said to be one of the oldest surviving houses along the coast from Glencairn to Muizenberg. What gives the house particular importance is that it was once a whaling station. Under it is a long stone-built cellar running the full length of the house. It has been divided longitudinally, and the front section could have accommodated a small boat beat, which was long and narrow. The back section has a raised platform with compartments along the back, which presumably had been used as slave quarters, but could well have been used for storing barrels of oil and whaling equipment. There used to be a blubber pot in the grounds and the corner posts of the fence were of whale bone which lasted better than wood. The house is situated on a large property with an attractive garden.

9/2/081/0025	The Homestead, 10 Montrose Avenue, Clovelly, Fish Hoek	The Homestead which is situated in Montrose Avenue overlooks the Fish Hoek valley and into the setting sun. The house, which originally consisted of a "voorkamer" with rooms leading off to the left and right, with a high pitched roof (presumably thatch) The walls were low and to accommodate this the doors are of normal width but low requiring one to bend your head when passing through. The present owner removed the dilapidated boards and took the ceiling into the loft area giving the rooms a pleasant vaulted appearance. A hearth which was presumably built shortly after the erection of the house was so big that it is now used as a dining alcove. To accommodate this an "afdak" was built consisting, today, of a kitchen, pantry, dining room, storeroom, toilet and bathroom - not large but adequate. A verandah was added over a high stoep. On the right end a "stoepkemer" was fitted in. This part is the most recent addition possibly dating from the twenties judging by the twin—type of masonry pillars which supports the verandah roof. The house is whitewashed with timber and roof painted black and hedged in with shrubs, trees and a high front boundary wall. Cobbled paths lead through a neat and well kept garden. Clovelly which was originally known as "Klein Tuin" during the Dutch East India Company’s sojourn, originally formed part of the Fish Hoek Valley which was divided in 1827 into three separate sections and allocated to owners. Photographic evidence from this period shows the original portion of the house already in existence. The back portion thereof is reputed to have been built during the latter half of the nineteenth century. This is the oldest house in the Clovelly valley.

9/2/081/0031	Railway Station, Main Road, Muizenberg, Cape Town	Although the railway line to Muizenberg was opened on 15 December 1882, just in time for the summer season, the station building was only erected in 1912/1913. In the meantime a shed-type building served as a station. The new building was opened on 7 June 1913 by the then Minister of Railways and Harbours, Mr. Henry Burton. Along with 300 guests he travelled first to Kalk Bay where he laid the first block of the breakwater. The trainload, of passengers then returned to Muizenberg where Mr. Burton officially opened the station by unlocking the door and purchasing the first ticket. This is a unique station building and a fine example of the Edwardian era. The station is situated on Main Road and in very close proximity to the Post Huys, which is now a major tourist attraction. The old Carnegie Library, now the police station and the Court House which both date from about 1910, are situated next door to the Post Huys. These buildings together, form an important, pleasing and very historic street facade along this section of the False Bay coastline. The building belongs to State and resorts under the Railways and Harbours Administration. Visual Description: The central portion of the building, in which the booking hall is situated, is a double-storey surmounted by an impressive clock tower. An interesting feature is the gables which appear to be a revival of the mid-eighteenth-century Flemish style. The floor of the booking hall is decorated with encaustic black and white tiles. The cast iron stairway, with teak handrail, is also noteworthy. On the platform side of the building an attractive 1930 addition extends from the second storey over the arched colonnade. A single wing extends from either side of the main building and these wings are gable ended. Each wing also has a smaller Flemish type gable on the front and back. All the windows, arches and corners are heavily rusticated with sandstone blocks. Red brick. Stone quoining to openings and corners. asbestos slate roof Type of site: Railway Station Current use: Railway station / commercial.

9/2/081/0050	Rhodes Cottage, 246 Main Road, Muizenberg, Cape Town	Rhodes’s cottage stands on the main road to Simons town, facing the sea between Muizenberg and St. James. It was formerly known as Barkly Cottage. Cecil Rhodes bought it on 27 February 1899, from the estate of J. R. Reid. At the end of that year the Anglo-Boer War broke out and Kimberley was besieged. Rhodes was in Kimberley during the siege, but when the siege was raised early in 1900 he returned to this cottage at Muizenberg to recover his strength. However, it was after his return from England in February, 1902, that he became most closely associated with the cottage. Almost immediately on his arrival at Groote Schuur he drove down to the cottage in the 12-14 h.p. Wolseley car he had brought with him from England. He was already suffering from the heart disease which was to cause his death. He retired to bed immediately but he could not lie down and had to sit propped up by pillows. The weather was extremely hot and the cottage had an iron roof at that time, so a hole was made in the wall next to his bed to give him more air. While he was in this condition he had to give evidence against Princess Radziwill who had defrauded him of thousands of rand. On 26 March 1902, just before six o’clock in the evening, he died here in this house. The cottage remained in the possession of the Rhodes Trustees until 1932, when they donated it to the government of Northern Rhodesia, who transferred it to the City Council of Cape Town in 1937.
