Holy Family College
ABOUT
Travel back over 100 years in the blink of an eye as we explore the Edwardian world of Holy Family College. Led by Liz Haines, Wade Venter and Charlotte Beukes, this walking tour reveals the magnificent architecture and interiors of this beautiful school. So, if you ever wanted to take a look behind the renowned broekie-lace facade, this is your opportunity.
Along the way, you’ll hear about the fire of 2013 and visit the school museum, home to a collection of exhibits from yesteryear. Included in the tour is a visit to the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation's Research and Resource Centre, filled with a wealth of archival material and the hub for our invaluable digital database of historic properties.
As part of our Heritage Weekend celebration, set some time aside to peruse our extensive book and map sale. And don’t forget to grab some delicious food at the Blessed Grub food stand.
