Magistrates' Court

Abstract

View of the building fronting onto New Street North and Joubert Street. This buildingwas surrounded by tall blue-gum trees for many years, these striking an incongruous note in the city pattern. Johannesburg's first Court House in 1888 was a single-storeyed wood and iron shed on a site in President street, now occupied by a portion of the Standard Buildings, and the old Post Office.
