History
Description
The building is located on the Victoria Embankment in Durban's city centre.[5] It occupies a lot with the shape of a quarter circle or quadrant, from which it derives its name. It is considered one of the epitomes of the so-called Berea Style, a local declination of the Art Deco style which emerged from local interest in Spanish colonial architecture as found on the West coast of North America.[1][4]
