FullStatementOfSignificance:
This Georgian double-storeyed building which was erected in 1823, is the oldest Baptist Church in South Africa. The foundation stone was alid on 6 January by William Miller, the 1820 Settler founder of the Baptist Church in South Africa. The church was consecrated on 7 September and used until 1843 when it was replaced by the church in Bathurst Street. It was converted soon after into three dwellings, but is now occupied as a unit again and known as Chapel House.
