Description

Introduction

On the eastern side of the Baronielaan stands, incorporated into a continuous street frontage consisting of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century townhouses, a block consisting of three DWELLING HOUSES, provided with a back and front garden and symmetrical in layout. The houses date from around 1895 and probably belong to the oldest on the Baronielaan. They are built in Neo-Renaissance style.

Since construction some original architectural details have been lost; of number 31 the finials of the stepped gable have been shortened, while also various glass-and-lead fanlights have been lost.

Description

The two-storey dwelling houses all have a generally rectangular plan with extension at the rear, are covered by a gabled roof, on the street side partly half-hipped and laid with Old Dutch tiles (partly bitumen on no. 31). The facade on the Baronielaan side has a mirrored layout; no. 29 has a wide stepped gable, crowned by diagonally placed finials, while the flanking dwelling houses are provided with a brick neck gable, crowned with one diagonally placed brick finial, and provided with cast stone claw stones.

The street facade is articulated by corner pilasters, while under the central top gable two pilasters are also placed, which optically separate the central house from the neighbouring houses. The facades are also provided with spandrels, cast stone cordon lines, hard stone dormer lines, band-pressed stone bands and tooth mouldings with decorative brickwork. Each dwelling house has generally the same layout with in the front facade three window bays, with on the ground floor on the left side a panelled door with fanlight, set in a cast stone frame with pediment, and to the right of it two T-sash windows under basket arch, of which the glazing bars are simplified in all cases. On the upper floor likewise each house is divided into three window bays.

The middle axis is occupied by a balcony with partly in wood, partly in wrought iron executed balcony rail, which however only on no. 29 still remains in the original form. The balconies are flanked by a T-sash window, on no. 27 still provided with the original fanlights with glass-and-lead. In the top gables of no. 27 and no. 31 round-arch lights are employed, while in the trefoil-shaped, in cast stone framed spandrel in the top gable of no. 29 an opening window with stucco decoration, flanked by two lights is placed.

The brick rear facades of the properties all have a spout gable. On the upper floor a T-sash window, with next to it an opening casement door to the balconies, situated on the roof of the single-storey extensions. In the top gable per house two smaller opening windows. Against the facade wrought-iron wall anchors are visible. The gardens are separated from the public road by simple wrought-iron railings, provided with gates.

Valuation

The dwelling houses with railings are of general importance. They have cultural-historical value: as representative of the earliest development of building on the new exit road to the south; they are of importance for the typological development of the terraced house; they have architectural-historical values: they are of importance for the history of architecture because of their detailing; they are of importance because of the ornamentation; they have ensemble values: they are of importance because of the situation, connected with the expansion of the city around the Baronielaan, an area that is proposed for protection; integrity/recognizability: the houses contribute to the structural integrity of the urban environment.
