Description

Introduction

Eclectic MANSION with coachhouse, 19th century, detached along the now-filled canal Maastricht-Liège. Built on the orders of Mr. Feij, secretary of the then municipality of St.Pieter. In 1969 sitting room layout altered. Double terrace doors in the originally blind left side facade. The wooden window frames have been replaced by plastic ones. The coachhouse was substantially rebuilt and extended with a new dental practice space. Coachhouse and practice space are therefore excluded from protection.

Description

Detached mansion on rectangular floor plan. Two storeys with basement, attic and upper storey under a slightly curved hipped roof. The roof is furnished with a central roof dormer placed above the entrance section, clad with bitumen and with a pediment with stuccowork. Diverse chimneys have been removed. Guttering. Dutch tiles of recent date.

Symmetrical front facade layout with three window bays. Entirely white-painted brick construction, laid in cross bond. Centrally in the first storey a risaliting entrance section with balcony, furnished with brick balustrade, including vase ornaments and side windows.

Round-arched double wooden panelled door with fanlight and narrow round-arched wooden side windows. The central bay is crowned by a gable top with richly ornamented stuccowork in the pediment. Rectangular plastic T-windows in the side bays, round-arched plastic gable-top window.

Three window bays in the rear facade. One rectangular plastic T-window and one rectangular, vertically divided plastic window above the rear door in the central bay. Each side bay is furnished with two rectangular plastic T-windows. The louvre shutters of the rear facade windows have been removed.

Blind right side facade. In the originally blind left side facade, a segmental-arched, double plastic terrace door with fanlight has been installed.

Profiled plinth. Decorative window and door strips, pilaster strips, cornice and facade strip of the front facade in stucco. In the cornice of the side and rear facades a profiled brick cornice on consoles.

The original wrought-iron railings of the front garden have been removed, the garden is now entirely surrounded by a brick wall with small buttresses.

In the INTERIOR, whose layout is partly intact, amongst other things the cornice strips and stucco rosettes in the front rooms of both storeys; the largely original doors; the staircase and the ashlar corridor floor with inlaid white-marble panels are of importance.

Valuation

The villa is of cultural-historical value as an important expression of an administrative and typological development. The architectural-historical values are determined by the building style, the aesthetic quality of the design and the ornaments. The property has ensemble values as an important component of the linear building along the now-filled canal Maastricht-Liège, is important for the appearance of the district and has a historical-spatial relationship with the former canal.

The property has a reasonable architectural integrity and is important in relation to the structural and visual integrity of the linear building along the Lage Kanaaldijk. Moreover, the property is reasonably rare in typological and functional terms.
