STREET-WILSON and FYFE

Architect

The partnership in Durban betweem William STREET-WILSON and Arthur FYFE from 1894 until 1897 when Fyfe entered practice on his own account in Durban. According to Kearney, the firm was responsible for the design of the first stage of the Durban Railway Station in 1894 which apparently resembles that of Montreal, Canada.
