The Chamber of Mines building in Johannesburg was constructed by the company of Emely and Scott in 1921. It was then renovated by the partnership of Kef Gardiner & McFadyan. [1] The building is owned by the South African Chamber of Mines which does not participate in mining directly but undertakes many functions and activities including research on behalf of the industry as a whole.
Design[]
On the exterior the building has aluminum art carvings designed by relating to different aspects of mining activities. The entrance hall has two murals designed by Phyllis Gardener depicting mining activities. [2] [3]
