Rand Water Board Building, Neo-Classical administrative building in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Rand Water Board Building features granite and marble facades across its four floors, with detailed architectural elements reflecting its 1941 construction period.
Constructed in 1941 by Harper Bros Contractors under architect Gordon Leith's design, the building replaced an earlier structure from 1925 on Commissioner Street.
The building represents the growth of municipal infrastructure in Johannesburg, serving as the headquarters for Africa's largest water utility until 1989.
Located at 3 Fraser Street in central Johannesburg, the structure requires heritage impact assessments and permits for any modifications due to its protected status.
The building connects to the neighboring Sanlam Building through a pedestrian bridge, added during the 1980s expansion efforts.
