Red, white and cool

Scott House on the corner of Long and Church Streets used to be the old Johannesburg Hotel - one of the many Lion Hotels of the mid twentieth century. It was probably built in the 1880s, and now houses the oh-so-cool and trendy Mungo and Jemima fashion store.

  1. Mungo and who? Perhaps I'm just not trendy enough. LOL!

  3. I've noticed a lot of red painted buildings in your posts. Is it popular/traditional?

  5. Jane and Chris - red is not traditional at all - just eye-catching for me I suppose. And Mo - yes - plenty of trendy hotels in Cape Town.

  6. I like painted red brick buildings. It either makes the structure look really old, or really modern and cool. Good choice of look for this designer boutique!
