Description

Introduction

Six TOWNHOUSES, built in 1888 and executed in three types each mainly showing influences from neo-Gothic, Chalet style and neo-Renaissance. The six dwelling houses, of which only properties no. 1 and 9 (still) possess a garden with fence, form part of a row of ten dwellings. Dwelling houses 1; 3; 5; 7; 9 are set back in relation to the corner property no. 1a and no. 11. With no. 1a left out of this typology, the five houses are positioned mirror-image to each other, with the slightly projecting dwelling house no. 5 as the central axis. This is erected in neo-Renaissance style, provided with a raised neck gable decorated with volutes. This property is flanked by dwellings 3 and 7. These are covered by a clipped hipped roof (with slates) in which in the front roof slope a large and a small dormer are placed with boarded gable end and rafter as characteristics from Chalet style. The dwelling houses on the outer sides of the row of five have the ridge of the gabled roof with overhang with rafter, perpendicular to the street and show with the blunt pointed-arch-shaped relieving arches above window and door neo-Gothic characteristics. The corner dwelling 1a joins with the two dormers and clipped hipped roof the type that appears three times in the row, alternately placed. This property, which as mentioned projects forward, is chamfered at the corner and contains in each storey a window there. The higher placed (renewed) front door - accessible via hardstone steps - is located in the front facade, in the angle of the once again projecting right part of the front facade. The right side facade is executed blind except for a small window on the upper storey.

Description

The dwelling houses erected in brick possess two storeys with basement, traditional two-aisle layout (three window axes). Above the basement provided with two windows with shared lights, a double drip moulding strings together the front facades of the six dwellings. This is repeated between both storeys, only interrupted by the balconies which are broad or narrow depending on the window. Furthermore brickwork bands at the height of the middle and upper sills of the windows connect the front facades. The transition from the second storey to the loft storey is accentuated by a block frieze (no. 5), herringbone-arch frieze (1a; 3; 7). With the dwelling houses with step gables (1; 9) a marking is absent.

The front facades of all dwelling houses are furnished with carefully diverse decorative (brickwork). Notably dwelling house no. 5 is richly endowed with neo-Renaissance elements such as volutes, (natural stone) bands, shell ornaments, broken pediment, diamond heads and a facade stone with dating "1888".

The windows are mostly sash windows, some on the second storey executed as (composite) balcony doors with not always original balcony railings. Doors among other things with decorative surrounds and fanlights.

Valuation

Six TOWNHOUSES, some with garden and fence, of general importance by virtue of architectural-historical value as a marked and intact example of a row of dwelling houses executed in one design with high-quality aesthetic qualities in design and rich execution with carefully applied detailing in various materials. Of urban planning value as part of a characteristic facade wall and image-defining as part of the urban planning ensemble of the Maliebaan and immediate surroundings.
