The Markham Building is a building in Johannesburg, South Africa, which when completed in 1897 was the tallest building in the city. The six storey building had a clock tower housing a large clock imported from Scotland with four faces North, South, East and West. Known as Markham's Folly, because it stood out clearly in the centre of Johannesburg. In the cock tower there was an artist studio. The building was saved from demolition in 1978 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Markhams Building - BLUE PLAQUES OF SOUTH AFRICA )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Markhams Building )〕 ==History== Built in the late Victorian style of architecture the building was owned by Henry William Markham who arrived in Cape Town from England in 1873 . He set up a successful outfitter's business and in 1895 he then decided to open a branch in Johannesburg. After Henry's death his son in law took over the business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=city of Johannesburg - Markham’s battle for survival )〕
