Surrey Mansions, an example of the Art Deco buildings in Durban. This building is one of Durban's best examples of the Art Deco style and is in excellent condition. The apartment block's structure has a base, middle and crown reminiscent of the New York stepped style. The exterior has been painted cream with relief elements emphasised in pastel reds and greens. Geometric and linear patterns decorate three sides of the building. Sculptural elements exist in the form of winged feline motif (the reverse of a griffon; a lion with an eagle's body). The corners of the building incorporate curved alcoves. Each flat has a leaded geometric design lead window in the front door. The foyer is decorated in contrasting yellow and green marble.
