  • Las Escuelas Modelo del Estado (Staatsmodelschool en afrikáans) se encuentran en la esquina que forman las calles Van der Walt y Skinner en Pretoria, Provincia de Gauteng, Sudáfrica. Sus orígenes se remontan al año 1893, cuando se construyó para formar a profesores en la extinta República de Sudáfrica. , arquitecto jefe de la ZAR, diseñó el edificio en 1895, y fue finalizado por Te Groen en 1896. Está construido en ladrillo y arenisca y se podría enmarcar dentro de la escuela de arquitectura neorrenacentista holandesa. El 11 de octubre de 1899 cerró sus puertas debido al estallido de la guerra anglo-bóer. Durante la guerra fueron recluidos en las instalaciones de las escuelas los oficiales británicos tomados como prisioneros de guerra. La fuga de Winston Churchill, corresponsal de guerra y posteriormente primer ministro británico, de las instalaciones se ha convertido en leyenda. Las escuelas recuperaron su vida normal entre los años 1902 y 1909 como Universidad de Pretoria para chicos, que posteriormente pasaría a denominarse Instituto de Pretoria para chicos. En 1910 la universidad abandonó el edificio de las Escuelas Modelo del Estado y pasó a contener varias escuelas. Los servicios bibliotecarios del Departamento de Educación de Transvaal se trasladaron al edificio en 1951. Fue declarado monumento nacional el 8 de abril de 1960. * Datos: Q3642807 * Multimedia: Staatsmodelschool (Pretoria) / Q3642807 (es)
  • The Staats Model School is situated on the corner of Lilian Ngoyi (previously Van der Walt) and Nana Sita (previously Skinner) Streets in Pretoria, Gauteng Province, Republic of South Africa. It originated from a school established in 1893 to train teachers in the Zuid Afrikaansche Republik, or ZAR. Alfred Fernandez Harington was appointed English master on 1 October 1895. Sytze Wierda, chief architect of the ZAR, designed the building in 1895, and its construction was completed by Te Groen in 1896. The structure consists of brick and Stinkwater sandstone and adheres to the Neo Dutch Renaissance school of architecture. On 11 October 1899 the school closed as a result of the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War. During the war the building functioned as a hospital for Boer soldiers and as a prison for British officers. The escape of Winston Churchill, war correspondent and later British prime minister, from the building has become legend. The school regained some life from 1901 as Pretoria High School, and from 1902 to 1909 as the Pretoria College for Boys, which later became Pretoria Boys High School. In 1910 the college moved to larger premises and the Staats Model School building housed several other schools after that, including, in 1946, the ‘Hamilton Primary School’ (Robert Hamilton was a well-known businessman and benefactor of the school). The Library Services of the , or TED, moved in during 1951. The building was declared a national monument on 8 April 1960. (en)
