SOME HISTORY OF THIS AREA:
Graaff-Reinet is South Africa's fourth-oldest town, founded in 1785, and North Street sits right in the historic core that's now protected as a national heritage area. Here's what the record shows about its homes: Wikipedia
The broader context
The town's old streets, including North Street, are lined with houses built mainly in the nineteenth century, blending Georgian Karoo style with Victorian features, forming an integral part of Graaff-Reinet's historical and architectural core. This concentration of well-preserved 19th-century townhouses is a big part of why Graaff-Reinet is often called a living museum of Cape and Karoo vernacular architecture, and it's a major reason tourists visit the town.

Karoo-type: flat-roofed, parapeted townhouses with rusticated plasterwork, moulded cornices, and enclosed stoeps — a local adaptation suited to the semi-arid Karoo climate.
