Frankfort post office
The Post Office, police station and court in Frankfort in the Free State are all sandstone buildings next to each other in Van Reenen Street and together. The plans of the building, dated July 1903, were drawn by HGA de la Corneliére of the Department of Public Works in the Orange River Colony in the style of public buildings of its time with sandstone walls and a red-painted pitched corrugated roof. A large Cape Dutch gable appears above the entrance, with the date 1904 and the initials ERI on it. The entrance is a double wooden door with an arched window above it, finished off with a double arch of smooth sandstone. A wooden-frame window and column of cut sandstone appears either side of the front door.
