Description

Introduction

Mansion in eclectic architectural style from ca. 1873, built on behalf of Margaretha Willet, wife of E.L.J. van Dijk.

Description

Mansion on rectangular floor plan, consisting of a basement and two storeys under a half-hipped roof covered with shingles, five window bays wide. The facades are plastered; the basement section is clad with rusticated ashlar stone. The front facade is terminated on both sides by blocked pilasters. The storeys are separated from each other by a moulded stringcourse. The sash windows, some with divided fanlights, possess on the first storey a moulded plastered surround and a curved pediment on triglyph consoles; on the second storey they are equipped with a straight cornice and a faintly indicated lambrequin in the plasterwork. Rectangular plastered panels are placed between these windows. The segment-shaped basement windows have cast-iron grilles. The corniced main entablature at the corners has a frieze with rectangular panels and a cornice with tooth moulding, which rests on pairs of ornamented consoles. Above the cornice, in the centre, there is a dormer window counting three windows, plastered, covered by a curved wooden pediment with pedestal in the open central section.

To the right of the house is the extended porte-cochere, framed by blocked pilasters and a simple entablature. The double doors are furnished with panels and an arched fanlight with mask keystone.

The rear facade has a three-sided projecting bay window, on which a balcony railing with decorated cast-iron balusters.

The interior is well preserved. The interior of the porte-cochere is decorated with rich wall ornamentation of panels, a frieze with festoons, mouldings and consoles. Fluted Ionic pilasters flank the stair leading to the hall. Eclectic stucco ceiling.

The hall has carved door pediments, Ionic pilasters, panelled doors and a stucco ceiling. The staircase, separated from the hall by a wall, has wall ornamentation with simple panels, a round end baluster with fluting, a rail with decorated balusters and a fanlight in which Art Nouveau stained glass was placed around 1900. On the first storey are two rooms with rich stucco ceilings, marble chimney pieces, wall panels and between the windows a mirror in a carved surround, as well as decorated door pediments. On the second storey is a spacious hall with carved door pediments and a stucco ceiling; in the rooms are stucco ceilings and chimney pieces. In the right front room are very richly executed door pediments in neo-Louis XIV style. The basement has marble floor tiles and barrel vaults; the roof truss structure is original. All doors in the house have retained their panel ornamentation.

Valuation

Mansion of architectural-historical and cultural-historical significance as a representative example of eclectic residential architecture. Main form, detailing, material and interior are well preserved. As part of a series of residential buildings from the second half of the 19th century, the building also has ensemble value.
