Description
The 6 Herschel Road property, known as Freeland Lodge, has played a historical role for over a century in the social and physical landscape of Cape Town . The 447 square meters of property was officially registered under the colonial government of Britain in 1892. The 1902 surveys of the region, shows the current day buildings on the 6 Herschel Road property were named Freeland Lodge. When the house was restored to its original use it seemed fitting to restore the original name as well.
