Claremont Baptist Church Claremont, Cape Town, Western Cape

Date: 1906 : 1951 Type: Baptist Church Status: Demolished c1999 Street: Grove Avenue

The original building was erected in 1906. A new building was built in front of it in 1951, after which the old building was used as the church hall. The congregation moved to the former Keurboom Dutch Reformed Church premises in 1991, and their buildings were converted into offices in 1993. They were demolished a few years later, to make way for the 'ABSA-on-Grove' (now 'Grove Exchange') building. Founder members of the congregation included Robert Law (Villa R Law) and James MADEN.
