Description

Introduction

T-FARMHOUSE 'Anthoniushoeve', built in 1889 with an adjoining SUMMER HOUSE. The farmhouse was built as a livestock breeding enterprise; the business section is of the voerdeeltype. The farmhouse is located on a well-preserved site at the main street of Duivendrecht, a remnant of the associated meadows is still present at the rear. There is a special ensemble value with the adjacent 'Sophiahoeve', built a few years earlier, which has a similar layout but is executed with less richness in material use and detailing and has more traditional construction. On the rear yard an ensemble of farm buildings, including a HAY BARN and a small SHED.

Description

T-farmhouse with a summer house adjoined on the right side. The roof ridge direction of the rear house and of the summer house run perpendicular to the road; the ridge of the transversely positioned front house runs parallel to the road. The roofs are covered with tiles, whereby the roof of the rear house under the tiles is not closed off but provided with a layer of reed thatch. On the ridge two wooden ventilation structures. Between farmhouse and summer house runs a passage of which the front section is roofed and attached to the farmhouse. The T-farmhouse and the summer house were built almost simultaneously of brick masonry in English bond. Above all window frames and under the roof edge red and yellow ornamental brickwork is applied. The facades of farmhouse and summer house have ornamental wall anchors. The window and door frames have a beaded moulding profile. T-farmhouse and summer house stand out due to very richly decorated wooden bargeboards. The bargeboards at the rear facades are undecorated. The front facade of the T-farmhouse is symmetrical in layout and has four T-windows. Centrally in the roof panel above the front facade a roof dormer. In all facades of the front house cellar window frames are incorporated with protective iron grilles on the inside and flat wooden double shutters on the outside. The side facades of the rear house have iron stable windows. The left side facade has a round window with coloured glass at the location of the passage. In the rear facade centrally a wide single door flanked by stable windows. Above it a double hay door. At the gable ends at the height of the standing stall are manure doors. Both manure doors and partition door consist of beaded elements. In the top of the facade an iron round window. The front facade of the summer house has in the first storey two four-pane windows and stands out due to the angel window present on the floor, consisting of a high semicircular-topped window with narrower and lower side windows. The side windows have a diagonal glazing bar division. In the facade a natural stone cornerstone is incorporated ('The first stone laid by Adrianus Petrus Bon and Maria Post 4 June 1889'). The side facades of the summer house are provided with iron small stable windows. In the right side facade furthermore a later placed roof window at the height of the summer kitchen and wide wagon doors composed of beaded elements, in which a wicket door is incorporated. The rendered rear facade of the summer house has at the height of the attic a double hay door with a steel hoisting hook. In the top of the facade a round window. The space between summer house and farmhouse is closed off at the location of the rear facades with a wooden double door. The interior is largely intact in terms of layout and provided with various characteristic fixed interior elements and structural components. The front house consists of a living room and a bedroom provided with a profiled wooden wainscoting and wooden sliding shutters behind the windows of the front facade. The living room has a green-painted beam layer provided with a pigeon-hole profile and a bed recess wall in which the door to the passage is incorporated. Against the partition wall with the bedroom a black marble fireplace with a profiled stucco chimney mantel. The bedroom is provided with a bed recess wall with doors to the passage and the attic stair, as well as a cupboard with a sloping floor finish above the cellar stair, provided with simple steps. The pine wood rafter structure of the rear house does not consist of tie-beam trusses with overhangs, as is customary in the older voerdeeltype, but of longitudinal beams with attic beams laid over them which also rest on the supporting side walls. The roof has pine rafter trusses with side posts and an over-keeled brace, whereby the side posts completely vertically support the rafter legs. The rear house is six bay sections deep, of which the front bay section as passage is attached to the front house and has an entrance in the right side facade. The sections of the longitudinal beam beams in the passage are provided with chamfered edges. The door to the living room is provided with cut leaded glass. The rear house has the characteristic three-part division, with a fodder area in the central aisle and the stable spaces (with standing stall) in both side aisles. Middle of the floor a masonry oval fodder trough connected with gutters in the stable floor to masonry fodder gutters. The rope pulleys attached to the stable beam support are largely still original. The summer house has a living room behind which a living kitchen, which gives access to the business section consisting of a former wagon storage and a former horse stable. The living room is provided with, among other things, a profiled cupboard wall, wainscoting and wooden sliding shutters at the windows of the front facade. In the kitchen, among other things, a round masonry and red-painted water stove, a profiled wooden fireplace with a fixed cupboard and a sink with a wood cupboard. The four-bay hay barn has a coverage of corrugated sheets with beneath it a reed thatch layer. The small shed on the left of the rear yard has a gabled roof with tiles and facades built up of horizontal wooden elements.

Valuation

Farmhouse 'Anthoniushoeve' with summer house from 1889, with associated hay barn and shed, is of general importance due to cultural-historical and architectural-historical value as well as situational value as a good example of a late nineteenth-century T-farmhouse of the voerdeeltype, which is exceptional due to the integrity of main form, load-bearing structure and detailing and has various well-preserved interior elements and structural components. The cultural-historical and architectural-historical value is particularly located in the combination with the adjacent Sophiahoeve, which is comparable but shows very characteristic differences in construction and detailing, which among other things result from differences in building time. Together the farmhouses make an important contribution to the knowledge of the construction and development history of the Dutch farmhouse in the late nineteenth century. Beside this ensemble value there is a special situational value due to the location on the main street in Duivendrecht where the farmhouse in connection with the site and Sophia's hoeve forms one of the last built reminders of the area that remained predominantly agricultural into the twentieth century in the direct vicinity of Amsterdam. This historical image is emphasized by the sharp contrast with the highly urbanized surroundings.
