Description

Description component B The rectangular METAER HOUSE is covered with a gabled roof between two spout gables. The roof surfaces are covered with muted Dutch tiles and water drainage takes place via renewed gutters. The facades are constructed in brick in Flemish bond. They have a grey rendered plinth and are characterised by rendered plasterwork decoration. The symmetrically organised FRONT FACADE is provided with rendered corner pilasters that extend into a climbing frieze. In the corners this frieze extends into a decoration and below the apex a small four-leaf clover is cut into the plasterwork. The spout gables are finished at the top by a moulded edge and are crowned on the spout by a terra cotta executed, crest-like ornament with an acanthus leaf. In the centre of the facade is a double, clamped door under a multi-ruted, two-part arched fanlight with diamond-shaped glazing bars. This facade opening is framed by plasterwork. The rendered keystone of the arch above the door bears a Hebrew inscription. Above this is a round, iron ventilation grille surrounded by plasterwork. The RIGHT SIDE FACADE as well as the LEFT SIDE FACADE is divided into three bays by rendered corner pilasters and pilaster strips. These pilasters and pilaster strips extend into a horizontal frieze that closes off the facade. The corners of pilaster strips and frieze are moulded just as in the front and rear facades. For light entry, three segmental arch-finished windows are installed in the RIGHT SIDE FACADE of the house. The windows have cast-iron frames, of which the three middle panes are openable. The REAR FACADE is virtually identical to the front facade. The INTERIOR consists of a single space with a non-original ceiling (originally perhaps an open roof truss). The walls are completely rendered and, comparable to the external facades, articulated by pilaster strips. Against the side walls are four simple, wooden benches attached. The space also contains a platform with a simple, black-painted pulpit and a (presumably dating from the eighteenth century) wooden stretcher, provided with a Hebrew inscription and a coffin.

Valuation

METAER HOUSE (complex component B) from 1868

-Of architectural-historical value as a well-preserved and good example of a metaer house from the second half of the nineteenth century. The building is executed in eclectic style and stands out because of the fine architectural qualities that are expressed among other things in the facades executed in brick and plasterwork. The house has a simple, but typologically very recognisable main form and a reasonably well-preserved interior, in which the plasterwork detailing of the external facades is repeated on the walls.

-Of urban planning value as an inseparable component of the complex. The house is located between the street and the cemetery and plays an image-determining role through its location and appearance, which is enhanced by the sight line created from the street through the gravel path.

-Of cultural-historical value within funeral history, as a good typological example of a Jewish metaer house.
