dc.description.abstract	The artcle outlines the planning and construction history of Esselenpark and shatters some of the myths surrounding its construction. It examines why such an anachronistic, labour intenive and expensive complex was built in the classical tradition when modernism held sway in South Africa. Finally, it describes present uses and possible future developments.	en
