Description

Introduction

Double DWELLING HOUSE built in 1892 in Transitional architecture and forming part of a characteristic street frontage.

Description

Detached building with basement on rectangular plan of two storeys under a gabled roof, parallel to the street, with broad overhang. Six-bay wide brick facade with basement rendered in blocks with artificial sandstone block imitation in which are cellar windows. First storey with evenly divided stone bands between the windows filled with double French doors emphasize the horizontal character of the building. On the division between basement and first storey balconies with non-original railings (of subordinate importance), on richly worked consoles. Windows and French doors on the first storey each closed off by a cornice. Storeys are separated by drip moulding. In the second storey the windows are connected to each other by a stone band continuing over the window sills. The wooden cladding beneath the overhang is a modern addition and of subordinate importance. The entrances are located in the side facades decorated with half-timber imitation. Above the entrances a covering of iron and glass. In front of the double dwelling house small gardens separated from the street by original railings.

Valuation

Double DWELLING HOUSE with railings and entrance covering, of general importance due to its architectural-historical value as an example of a dwelling house with fine detailing in transitional architecture. Also of urban planning importance as part of a reasonably intact late 19th-century street frontage, situated with its rear side to the canal.
