Statement of Significance
Of all Pabst's buildings the exterior of this one demonstrates his intoxication with curved forms to the full. The interior planning caused considerable consternation to the numerous owners of the nursing home. From the plans and sections this is not really apparent, but as Pabst himself wrote, "I am the first to admit that purely functionally there will be better hospitals in Johannesburg than mine." The original building was begun in 1943.
