Description

Introduction

This townhouse forms part of a row of late 19th-century townhouses in eclectical style, which together constitute part of the closed facade wall laid out in the seventies of the 19th century on the demolished city walls. The rear sides of the dwellings border on the city moat and the grounds of the villa Rams Woerthe. The properties comprise two storeys on a basement, separated by cornice mouldings and covered by a hipped roof. The facades have arched window openings and are terminated by a cornice.

Description

Four-bay property with sober cornice-topped facade with plastered plinth, corner pilasters and wooden cornice, and covered by a hipped roof with tile covering. Windows with keystone in the segment arches and a new door with fanlight. The spatial arrangement and the roof truss structure with dormer window of the property, converted to office use, were entirely altered following a fire in 1951.

Valuation

The property forms part of a well-preserved late 19th-century facade wall with properties in eclectic style. These constitute, as buildings on the former city walls and in association with the garden and buildings of the villa Rams Woerthe, a highly valuable urban design ensemble and therefore possess considerable urban design and ensemble value; the preservation and stylistic variety makes them architecturally significant.
