Volunteers turn derelict Cape Dutch homestead into community centre
Story 2
A 19th century Cape Dutch homestead in Glencairn Valley, Cape Town, has been brought back to life by local volunteers in partnership with the South African Heritage Resources Agency.
Welcome Cottage, built between 1810 and 1812 and declared a national monument in 1985, had been in disrepair since 1993. Volunteers worked with SAHRA and local museums to research its history and restore the building.
The farmhouse now hosts a nursery, coffee shop, community events, and displays for local businesses, while preserving its historical character.
