Description

Introduction: In the park of Rhijngeest, situated south of the Jelgersmakliniek, a detached villa dating from the early twentieth century, originally intended for the director-physician of the Jelgersmakliniek and like the main building executed in chalet style with whitewashed façades with red accents. The detailing of the villa shows similarities with that of the main building. Description: A brick-built whitewashed villa on an irregular floor plan consisting of a basement, a ground floor, a first floor and an attic storey under a composite gabled roof with dormer windows covered by red cross tiles with ridge ornaments at the roof ridge ends. The façades above a fairly high brick plinth with bevelled roll moulding are whitewashed, with segmental arches above doors and windows and decorative mouldings below the windows left unplastered. The attic storey has vertical whitewashed wooden boarding, marked at the lower edge with a brick dentil course. The façades are articulated by arched windows provided with opening casements or sash windows partly with stained-glass fanlights. Projecting entrance section under a pitched roof in the north façade. The entrance, a panelled door with wrought-iron grille, is provided with a canopy, three stone steps with an iron railing. The east façade has a projecting right-hand building section under a half-hipped gabled roof, in which on the attic storey is a wooden balcony resting on corbels. On the left on the ground floor an adjoining conservatory with on the first floor a balcony with mortared parapet with corner pilaster and railing. Three-sided bay window on the south side. In the recessed - flat-roofed - left section, two glazed doors from the house give access to the somewhat raised and partly enclosed terrace. On the northwest side a single-storey outbuilding from the period of construction provided with an entrance with panelled door. In the interior the original layout has been preserved with original details such as the stained-glass fanlights, comparable with the stained glass used in the clinic. Valuation: The director-physician's residence belonging to the Jelgersmakliniek, with original layout and interior details, is of general interest by virtue of its architectural-historical and cultural-historical values and by virtue of its situation and functional-spatial relationship with the Jelgersmakliniek.
