Description

Introduction

DWELLING HOUSE (originally a skipper's dwelling), consisting of a front section from 1772 with valuable (partly imported from elsewhere) contemporary interior components and a second half 19th-century rear section. The whole was carefully restored in 1985/86, on which occasion the rear section was adapted to modern living requirements. The emphasis of the protection therefore lies on the late 18th-century front section, its internal structure and the valuable interior components.

Description

FRONT SECTION (1772) on rectangular ground plan, built in red brick and covered by a gabled roof tiled with blue-glazed Oudhollandse tiles between step gables; corner chimneys with boards; bevelling along the gable tops; straight wall anchors and date anchors 1772. The front facade is regularly arranged: in the centre a door with fanlight with on either side three sash windows with glazing bars (6/9) and shutters; below and above the windows 1/2 brick bondcourses; in the side facades two such windows with shutters and bondcourses; in the gable tops two small hayloft windows with shutter. INTERIOR OF FRONT SECTION. The interior includes in particular: the central passage paved with tiles, which continues into the later built rear section; the wooden plank floors, the original ceiling joists with dove or dovecatcher and partly still original ceiling sections; furthermore in the room to the left of the passage the original late 18th-century contemporary built-in bed wall (bed partition) with painted panel decoration, the 19th-century marbled wooden fireplace mantelpiece, liquor cupboard, the wooden blinds; in the room to the right of the passage the likewise late 18th-century built-in bed wall from the city of Groningen with trompe l'oeil decoration, the 19th-century marbled wooden chimney; liquor cupboard.
