Description

Introduction

Building block belonging to the Jordaan complex from 1896 to the design of J.E. van der Pek on the Lindengracht.

Description

Originally created on a rectangular ground plan, a block of five storeys with business and shop spaces on the ground floor, residential units above and warehouse spaces on the attic floor. The block is constructed in reddish-brown brick and can be divided into eight distinguishable building components, each three bays wide, arranged in mirror image and consisting of four dwelling units. Both building components at the corners are constructed slightly higher and are finished with a flat roof. The central section, consisting of four building components, is finished with a sloped gabled roof. On the ground floor originally rows of large shop windows with a series of blocked-out recesses both above and below in the frame. To the left or right of the shop window a simple wooden entrance door with a simple rectangular fanlight. On the ground floor in the central sections four pairs of coupled entrance doors. Above the whole a lintel with a profiled text and symbol frieze bearing an occupational designation. Respectively: for the mason, for the carpenter, for the painter, for the smith, for the plasterer, for the plumber, for the groundworker, for the stonemason. Further in this frieze always four images of tools connected to the mentioned occupation and several decorative panels. Above the frieze a drip moulding of glazed stone. On the floors above, each building component has three series of three windows. All windows have sills and built-in relieving arches. Between these windows some bands of built-in yellow brick. Further wall anchors (ornamental) and some square accents in yellow brick. On the top floor, which was designed as warehouse space, the two building components at the corners each have a central arched hoisting shutter with double small wooden doors with small fanlights in the doors. On either side of these hoisting shutters is an arched window with glazing bars. The four building components in the middle of the facade wall have at the level of the top storey an identical hoisting shutter in a roof dormer which breaks through the eave line. The beginnings of this roof dormer in the form of strengthening wall buttresses begin on either side of the central window of the fourth storey. In this roof dormer some built-in mouldings. The frieze of the central section consists of built-in mouldings. Further some accents at the rainwater downpipes. Striking is the far overhanging roof overhang of the two corner building components as well as at the four roof dormers in the middle. Here we see wooden corbel brackets on small built-in corbels and gutter blocks with consoles bearing profiles. The ends of the gutter blocks have a distinguishable facial expression as ornament. The cornice of the roof dormers ultimately also forms the cornice of the sloping roof slope.

Valuation

Block with business and shop spaces and tenement apartments of general importance because of architectural, cultural and social-historical value. Also of typological value. Important as part of the Jordaan complex Lindengracht/Goudsbloemstraat.
