Description

Introduction

BULB BARN, dating from 1914, executed in a sober, businesslike style according to a design by architect A.L. Verhoog on behalf of the growers, the Bergman brothers. The bulb barn is situated in the bend of the Tejlingerlaan, on a spacious, irregular plot of ground south-east of the castle Teylingen.

Description

A brick bulb barn consisting of a drying barn of three storeys on a rectangular ground plan and an adjoining office of one storey on a square ground plan on the north side, both covered by a flat roof with a broad, overhanging roof edge. Along the north facade furthermore a one-storey extension under a flat roof originally intended for sorting the bulbs. The facades of the bulb barn are entirely articulated by double drying doors placed at regular intervals apart, consisting of wooden frames with wooden lintels and hinged sashes; on the corners pilasters topped with concrete ornamental elements. The northern long side is articulated by two pilasters, also topped with concrete ornamental elements, and has a central section of five drying doors and left and right another two drying doors; a total of nine drying doors as also on the south side. In the eastern and western short gable four drying doors. On the ground floor the drying doors have four-part windows, on the storeys three-part windows (all with closed lower section). Between the drying doors are located high-placed small rectangular ventilation openings with brick surrounds. Original entrance with sliding door in the south facade; at a later time, in connection with the new residential function, a new entrance was added on the right side. On the north-east corner is located the office, of which the facades are closed off by a balustrade masoned on the flat roof, open-worked on the north and west sides on a concrete plinth and covered with concrete and with concrete tops on the corners. Originally against the largely closed western balustrade was the name of the growers, the Bergman brothers. Wooden front door with vertical glazing bars on the east side which gives access to the office; to the left of the door two and to the right three large coupled windows with yellow-green coloured glass-in-lead fanlights, above which steel lintels. Against the north facade is placed a one-storey extension - somewhat lower than the office - with renewed windows, originally intended for sorting the bulbs. In the west facade broad sliding doors with glazing bars. Internally in the drying barn simple beam layers; the drying racks have been removed and replaced by a steel supporting structure. The original broad gentle staircase is centrally placed and leads to the first storey, the staircase to the second storey is narrowed.

Assessment

The former bulb barn dating from 1914 is of general importance because of its cultural and architectural-historical values as a representative and relatively well-preserved example of a flat-roofed bulb barn in the bulb-growing region with natural ventilation by means of a large number of drying doors and therefore typologically of importance. The bulb barn is furthermore of situational value because of its prominent location in the axis of the Tejlingerlaan, as well as because of its location opposite the castle Teylingen. The bulb barn furthermore has ensemble value with the large bulb barn from 1925 located on the other side of the Tejlingerlaan.
