It is associated with a specific time - the C19 -, place - the Eastern Cape -, and historical episode - British colonial occupation and expansion in South Africa. This essay is considered important in that it helps isolate and determine those factors, whether through tradition or by design, which influence the evolution of an architectural type. In it an etymological link between "kraal" and "coral tree" is proposed, a conjectural demonstration of Sephton manor presented, and the importance of associations with the type and the changing of circumstance of its origins in terms of the emblematic and symbolic qualities in speculated.enPicasso Headline (Pty) LtdSephton ManorCape architectural styleSouth African architectureFrontier farmsteadArchitecture, Domestic -- South Africa -- Eastern Cape -- 19th centuryFarmhouses -- South Africa -- Eastern Cape -- 19th centuryColonists -- Homes and haunts -- South Africa -- Eastern Cape -- 19th centuryBritish settlers of 1820 (South Africa) -- Homes and hauntsPioneers -- South Africa -- Eastern Cape -- 19th centuryArticle
