Rust en Vreugd, Urban architecture museum in Cape Town, South Africa.
The three-story townhouse features Corinthian columns, a porch with baroque carvings, and a balcony overlooking a period-style garden.
Willem Cornelis Boers, an attorney of the Dutch East India Company, constructed this residence in 1778 as a display of his accumulated wealth.
The William Fehr Collection at Rust en Vreugd contains historical drawings, etchings, lithographs, and prints depicting South African life through centuries.
Located at 78 Buitenkant Street in Cape Town Central, the museum requires advance arrangements for viewing the sensitive paper art collection.
The original wrought iron gates from Amsterdam, dated 1778, now form part of St Michael's Church chancel arch in Staffordshire, England.
