Johannesburg

The Springs Art Deco route

more than a year ago
There is no formal tour but fans of Art Deco architecture will be rewarded by a drive around Springs (about 50k from Johannesburg). Start at the Springs Fire Station (cnr Boksburg and Welgedacht Rds) and wind your way through the city streets to see more than 30 fine, but not necessarily well tended, examples that showcase the mining prosperity of this town in the 1920s and 1930s. Springs is also the birthplace of South African Nobel Literature Laureate Nadine Gordimer.
