11. LANZERAC
Dated 1830, this is typical of the neoclassical style, the lightly fluted pilasters and the date are the only decorations on the surface of the gable. A number of urns add interest an air of opulence to the silhouette of the gable.

12. BABYLONSTOREN
Also a neoclassical gable, the one at Babylonstoren is quite beautiful as the soft curves harmonies with the more geometric columns. The pilasters are plain - without any fluting. Detail is provided in the elaborate scrolls at the base of the gable, and one urn-and-garland motif above the casement window. The gable has been beautifully restored and maintained, although the original shape is not actually known, and this is perhaps why it appeals to more modern sensibilities.
