Description

Introduction DWELLING, situated in the closed, eastern facade wall of the Oude Ebbingestraat, built in 1904-1905 on the instructions of Th.A. Verhagen according to the design of Groningen architect A.Th. van Elmpt in Art Nouveau style. The building is still in use as a dwelling. Description The building is constructed of red brick on a rectangular ground plan and consists of a basement with two storeys under a truncated hipped roof, covered with slates in basket-weave pattern. The basement, clad with natural stone, is bordered by wrought-iron railings with Art Nouveau motifs and contains a hardstone step of five treads with two carved hardstone pedestals on either side. The slightly recessed, finely worked entrance door with a carved upper doorpost has a five-part high fanlight, which is closed off by a hardstone lintel and a segmental arch relieving arch. In the window bay on the ground floor are two paired windows, closed with round arches and rectangular, natural-stone crowns. The windows have an elegantly curved calf and refined glazing bars in the fanlights. Between the natural stone a segmental arch relieving arch is inserted. On the first floor is a three-part window with two masoned mullions with semi-circular profile on a natural-stone base with sloping hardstone windowsills. Above the windows three round arches are combined in an in- and outswung masoned arcading towards the three-part window in the gable. The gable has a natural-stone coping and is crowned by a natural-stone top. The entrance bay has on the first floor a window with a worked natural-stone lintel and a segmental arch relieving arch. This facade section is ended by a profiled wooden gutter on consoles. Between the consoles decorative brickwork is inserted. The arrangement of the rear facade is original and contains on the ground floor a rectangular conservatory with coloured leaded glass in the fanlights. Above the bay is a balcony and the gable contains two plain-shuttered windows. Internally the original structure, arrangement and finish has been well preserved. Of importance among other things the rooms en suite on the bel étage with ornamented stucco ceiling and cornice-work in the front room, the hall and corridor with white marble floors and white marble wainscoting, glass and wooden draught door with fanlight with coloured leaded glass and the window with etched glass at the end of the corridor, the original door surrounds, the wooden staircase, stucco decorations with Art Nouveau-style motifs in the ceilings of the corridor and front room on the first floor and the tiled basement with original sink and wooden hood and wall cabinets. Valuation DWELLING, with an asymmetrical brick cornice-topped facade according to the design of Groninger architect A.Th. van Elmpt in one of the renewal styles of around the turn of the century, of general importance due to its cultural-historical and architectural-historical value due to the architectural quality of the design and due to the particularly thoughtful and craftsmanlike shaping of the facade and the detailing of in particular the hardstone elements and due to its integrity. Moreover, the building is the only well-preserved dwelling in the Oude Ebbingestraat in Groningen.
