It was among the best known practices in South Africa and executed a large number of major buildings in Port Elizabeth. In 1907 the firm was also briefly listed in Johannesburg, perhaps having opened a branch office away from Port Elizabeth owing perhaps to the depression. Several of their designs were exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, and House Freilinghaus: Matoppos, was chosen as one of the examples of South African architecture for exhibition at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924. From 1931 HJ McWILLIAMS joined the office, first as an assistant. His arrival had a significant effect on the design approach of the firm (see St Patrick's Catholic Church) becoming enriched by McWILLIAMS's inventive and youthful ideas which were bold and idiosyncratic. <br /> <br /> Building Date Town Province <br /> Aegis Assurance &amp; Trust Co bldg<br /> __________________ 1923 Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape <br /> Afrikaans medium School<br /> __________________ 1934 Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape <br /> Astra Theatre<br /> __________________ c1937 Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape <br /> Bagshaw, Gibaud &amp; Co Shoe Store, add<br /> __________________ 1927 Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape <br /> Bldg for Sir Lewis Richardson<br /> __________________ 1930?
