Introduction DWELLING HOUSE, situated in the nearly closed west wall of the Verlengde Hereweg, consisting of buildings from around the turn of the century, built in 1907 on behalf of life insurance company 'Het Noorden' designed by Groningen architect G. Nijhuis in Transitional architecture with Art Nouveau elements. The building is currently still in use as a dwelling house. In 1927 the building was divided into separate lower and upper dwellings and internally adapted accordingly. The hall with glazed draught door is still in the original state. The front garden is bordered by a simple wrought iron fence from the time of construction. The side facades are grey-stuccoed and of secondary importance. The extension on the rear side falls outside the protection.

In the front roof ridge a characteristic four-part wooden roof dormer with curved pediment. The three-bay wide front facade has a stone plinth and is constructed of orange-coloured facing brick. The slightly projecting entrance bay has a gable top with wooden framework in which a three-part oriole window. The rain pipe has anchors in the form of leaf motifs.
