fruit. Aspa ra gus once was one of the main crops and many farmers are planting apple trees. The town and district is renowned for the sand stone forma tions. Many of the older buildings in and around town were built with sandstone. Some of the country’s most important buildings, including the Union Buildings in Pretoria, were built from sandstone originating in Ficksburg and surrounding areas. From the early 1800s sandstone has been hewn from quarries to be used for building. Famous architects, including Sir Herbert Baker, even planned buildings around sandstone. Al though the number of craftsmen who are able to work in sandstone is dwindling rapidly, there remain a few people who still practise this craft. The tallest sandstone structure in the world, an old mill which is no longer in use, was built at Gumtree, a small settlement just outside Ficks burg. In 1885 sandstone was used architectu rally for the first time in a bay window which can still be seen at what is now known as McBride’s House. Three outstanding examples of sandstone architecture, the town hall, the old magistrates’ court and the old post office – all national monu ments – are situated on the town square. 31 The town hall was built in 1887, the old magi strates’ court in 1899 and the old post office in 1907. The town hall was used by the British during the Anglo Boer War as a church and after that as a hos pital during the deadly flu epidemic of 1918. In front of the town hall general and Mrs. Fick’s remains are buried at the foot of a monument commemorating the man after whom Ficksburg is named. The Setsoto municipality’s offices are situated in a building on the western side of the town square which was built in the early 1970’s as the head office for the hail and crop insurance com pany, Sentra oes Co-operative (Pty) Ltd (later known as Agri Risk Spe cialists and located in Bloemfontein). Some time after ARS relocated, the municipality purchased the com plex, which is a piece of Ficksburg history and a building which can hold its own with any impressive office block in any city. One of the most impressive buil dings in Ficksburg is the historic Ne derduits Gereformeerde Kerk, which was consecrated on 12 April 1907. Shortly after the arrival of Rev. J.D. Kestell, who had served as chaplain to gen. C. J. de Wet during the Anglo-Boer War, it was decided to build a church as a monument honouring the Boers who had died during the war. The plans and spe ci fica tions for the church were drawn up by an architect, Mr. W. Donald- Inhoud • Contents
