Paarl Church: front gable

Abstract

Front elevation with gable of the Paarl Church, measured by Gordon McIntosh and drawn by John Fassler for prof. Geoffrey Pearse's book "Eighteenth Century Architecture in South Africa" – see page 48 for a description, and Plates 98 and 99 for the drawing and a photograph by R. M. Ellenberger. The unusual gable with its bull's eye ventilator combines elements of the convex-concave and pointed apex gables.
