The block of 20 flats over shops is named "Pro Ecclesial" (meaning "for church" in Latin) and is located on the corner of Caledon street and Church street. The site is immediately adjacent to the original 1818 Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk, which has been used as the church hall since 1927. The two buildings have long been painted in the same colours, which is still the case today (2018). The implication is that they are still under the same ownership.
