Description

Characteristic (SHOP)DWELLING HOUSE situated on the Berlikumermarkt, consisting of two separate building structures that are functionally and constructionally connected to each other.

The property Berlikumermarkt 17 is originally a gentleman's house that was built in 1790 on behalf of Jonkheer Schelto Hessel Roorda van Eysinga, grietman of Haskerland. Since its construction, the house has been rebuilt several times, among others by manufacturer Ype Bolman who in 1893 had the ground floor converted into a shop and for that purpose had a shop front fitted, among other things. The design for the renovation is probably by Frisian architect W.C. de Groot who also designed the Gabbemagasthuis from 1906 on the Wijbrand de Geeststraat in Leeuwarden. During this renovation, the tall cross gable was cut off and the roof dormers were lowered and deprived of their pediments. The original entrance ceased to exist. In 1914, at the behest of the then owner G.P. Suren, Berlikumermarkt 17 was expanded with storage space. On that occasion, the residential section above the shop was made accessible via Ossekop 2, which forms the entrance to the upper dwelling. The warehouse adjoining Ossekop 2 and which according to the façade stone with inscription 'First stone laid by E. and Th. Suren 7 July 1914' also dates from 1914, is of local/regional importance and is not protected by the state.

Berlikumermarkt 17 is a six-bay wide and two-storey high late 18th-century gentleman's house (1790) built of red brick and covered by an evenly broken gabled roof covered with glazed blue barrel tiles (renovation 1893) with two roof dormers on the front with wooden sides; two corner chimneys; cornice with simple profiling and carved consoles; plinth of grey hard stone plates with simple decoration; lightly tinted Empire windows with late 19th-century T-glazing bars; two-brick dentillated eaves; wooden venetian blinds caps. The design is sober and points in the details to rococo and Louis XVI style; the late 19th century is represented in the T-windows and the wooden venetian blinds caps. The three-bay wide shop front on the ground floor dates from 1893 and has a characteristic design for its time of origin: brick pilasters with decorative banding and list capitals and, on either side of the portico, artificial stone columns with bands and list capitals.

The interior contains, among other things, the following valuable elements: on the ground floor a neo-Renaissance shop interior with tall open wall cabinets (1893, probably W.C. de Groot) and an office (probably dating from the 1914 renovation); the well-preserved salon to the right of the shop with rococo and Louis XVI decorations, fireplace, wall panelling, pilasters with Ionic volute capitals separating the wallpaper fields, garlands, richly worked cornices and a stucco ceiling with floral motifs; furthermore folding shutters with panelling and deep window sills; on the upper floor is the main staircase (which was relocated during the 1893 renovation) with richly carved Louis XVI work and urns; the underside of the second stair flight is stuccoed; the salons at the front (with suite doors from around 1900) likewise have folding shutters with panelling and deep window sills, a simpler stucco ceiling and, in the northern salon, a fireplace with an open wall cabinet on either side; on the Ossekop side there is still a salon with a timber ceiling, a fireplace from 1789 with rococo and Louis XVI decorations and a painted overmantel with flowers, fruit, a bird cage and a bird on a stick; furthermore the old white-tiled kitchen with kitchen cabinet and fireplace and a room with a painted ceiling (probably 1914); the floors and skirting boards of corridors and stairs are executed in painted white/grey marble work.

Ossekop 2 forms the entrance section of the upper dwelling and consists of a re-masoned stairwell under a hipped roof covered with glazed red cross tiles with substantial overhang and glazed red hip tile; the overhang rests on a timber post and rail structure with basket-arch-shaped lath work; the entrance is formed by a double wooden door with panelling and decorative wrought iron. A simple double door in the right side gable gives access to the shop section.
