Huguenot Memorial Building, Government building in City of Cape Town, South Africa.
The Huguenot Memorial Building stands at 48 Queen Victoria Street with a prominent Edwardian architectural design and detailed stone craftsmanship throughout its facade.
The building opened on October 15, 1903, after the Dutch Reformed Church Synod commissioned its construction to honor French Huguenot settlers arriving in 1688.
The structure represents the lasting influence of French Huguenot immigrants who brought agricultural expertise and religious traditions to South Africa during colonial times.
The building currently functions as the Cape Town office of the South African Social Security Agency, providing essential administrative services to local residents.
The memorial building temporarily housed the remains of President S.J.P. Kruger from December 1 to December 6, 1904, marking a notable moment in its history.
