🏙The John Ross House in Durban is a 33-storey skyscraper on the iconic Victoria Embankment. Named after John Ross (real name: Charles Rawden Maclean), who at just 15 years old walked 600 km (370 mi) from Port Natal to Delagoa Bay and back — to bring medicine and supplies to the crew of a shipwrecked vessel. It happened in1825. ⛵️ 🗿 A statue of him stands outside the building. 🍽 At the top of the tower is the Roma Revolving Restaurant, offering panoramic views of Durban. 🏢 The building stands 109 meters (358 ft) tall and was renovated in 2009. Today, it serves both residential and commercial purposes. #Durban#SouthAfrica#Architecture#History#JohnRoss#Landmarks#VictoriaEmbankment#Skyscrapers#RomaRestaurant#Africa
