Restoring Legacy

|VISI
With ancestry that can be traced back to the early 1800s, it was only fitting for SEDGWICK HOUSE to be given a new lease of life via a SYMPATHETIC RENOVATION by the sixth generation of the Sedgwick family.
IF YOU LIVE IN CAPE TOWN, YOU'VE PROBABLY DRIVEN PAST THIS BUILDING MANY TIMES. On your right as you head down Loop Street, on the corner with Bloem, it is an odd piece of architecture - aesthetically hard to pin down beyond the fact that it's clearly been around for a while. Pre-restoration, it was a heady mix of Cape Dutch-meets-Victorian-meets-Georgian, with a nod to Elizabethan thrown in. Its occupants, since it was built in the late 1800s, have been equally wide-ranging. Records show it was built by the Martienssen Brewery before South African Breweries bought the company - and the building - in 1899, turning it into the Alabama Hotel. The hotel operated until 1969 before becoming a business premises that, since 1981, has been owned by the Sedgwick family, original producers of Sedgwick’s Old Brown Sherry.
