==Geography== ===Architecture=== The city has a number of historic buildings. Among these are the St Andrew's Presbyterian Church which was built in 1905, and [[St Boniface Church Germiston|St Boniface Church]] designed by [[Sir Herbert Baker]], which was built in 1910 (this is the second church on the site, as the Anglican Parish was founded in 1897). The church also houses the historic 1910 English Romantic Norman and Beard Organ. The Alexander Hotel was also partly designed by Baker, using his traditional stone appearance. This building has recently been completely renovated and now houses a well-known law firm. The builder of the hotel, Alexander Stuart, some of whose descendants still live in Germiston, died when the [[RMS Lusitania]] was [[Sinking of the RMS Lusitania|torpedoed]] in the First World War on 7 May 1915. The hotel thus remains a memorial to his pioneer work in the city over a hundred years ago. ===Neighbourhoods=== * Activia Park * Albemarle * Annex Park * Barvallen * Castleview * Creston Hill * Cruywagen Park * Dania Park * Dawnview * Dewittsrus * Delmenville * Delmore * Delville * Denlee * Dinwiddie * Driehoek * Dukathole * Eduwin * Elandsfontein * Elandshaven * Elsburg * Elspark * Estera * Fishers Hill * Geldenhuys * Geldenhuys Sihs * Georgetown * Gerdview * Germiston East * Germiston North * Germiston South * Germiston West * Golden Grove * Golden Walk * Gosforth Park * Harmelia * Hazeldean * Hazelpark * Henville * Highway Gardens * Homestead * Industries East * Industries West * Jerusalem * Junction Hill * Jupiter * Klippoortjie * Klopperpark * Knights * La Lucia Gardens * Lambton * Lambton Gardens * Leondale * Magagula * Makausi * Malvern East * Marlands * Meadowbrook * Meadowdale * Mimosa Park * Norton * Palmridge * Parkhill Gardens * Pharoe Park * Phumula * Phumula Gardens * Pirowville * Primrose * Primrose East * Primrose Hill * Rand Airport * Rondebult * Roodebult * Roodekop * Rustivia * Simmerfield * Solheim * Staatsdorp * Sunnyridge * Sunnyrock * Symhurst * Symridge * Tedstoneville * Tunney * Union * Wadeville * Wannenberg * Wannenberghoogte * Webber * Woodmere * Wychwood
