Capturer Notes:

9 January 2016 (James Ball): The Johannesburg Heritage Foundation's table of listings (revised 2016) states that Endstead is a Provincial Heritage Site. This is contradicted by the City of Joburg's list of heritage sites (Endstead does not appear). I have gone with the City's list.
