ProposalDescription: 

Over 200 nuclear or reconstructed families would be housed in a safe living environment and near to a variety of work opportunities. The proposed on-site childcare facilities would also release young mothers onto the market with opportunities for schoolchildren up to tertiary level nearby. 2 Epsom Road Erf 3405 & 3406 Durban eThekwini Municipality Drawings A101 - A107

Expanded_Motivation: 

This building is inexplicably unlisted although it enjoys protection, since it is well over sixty years old. However, the current proposal intends to restore the major facades as a splendid, richly modulated, and historic plinth to the relatively plain tower block, within it. It was designed during the Union Period in a classical idiom on the east and north facades which are gabled and symmetrical and both have the bas-relief emblem of their Order on their pediment. The entrance on the east is emphasised by a portico over the pavement. The south façade is currently a hotchpotch of later additions, and the west façade is dominated by the elevation of the drill hall.
