Description

Introduction

On the Taalstraat, just north of the junction with the Helvoirtseweg, stands the former DWELLING HOUSE 'Tervliet' with ornamental garden, drive and fencing. The Taalstraat, a connecting road between Vught and Den Bosch, was in the nineteenth century much in demand among wealthier citizens because of the rural peace the street offered while the nearby large city remained easily accessible. The entirely detached building is situated on the north side of an almost rectangular plot that borders on the west side (tapering here) the park of the estate 'Zionsburg' and on the east side is separated from the Taalstraat by a wrought-iron spear fence with points in the form of (stylised) crucifix flowers and between which quatrefoils and trefoils. The fencing contains three entrances: two double wing gates open onto a curved drive leading to the central entrance of the dwelling house situated behind the current building line of the Taalstraat and on the north side a single wing gate provides access to a path to the rear courtyard. Particularly on the rear side a large ornamental garden and lawn with, among other things, rhododendron, oaks and copper beech.

The building constructed around 1870 belongs stylistically to Eclecticism, with neo-Gothic details in the entrance vestibule and the fencing.

The dwelling house has been substantially extended over the years, with modifications in parts and internal partial modernisation. In 1909 the building was extended by order of the then owner Holleman by Vught architect J. Pijnenburg with a two-storey volume (including inter alia a veranda) at the south-western corner of the rear facade. In 1920 architect K.C. Suyling carried out a renovation by order of Den Bosch industrialist Victor Rouppe van der Voort. He extended the aforementioned volume at the rear and also built a new volume in matching style at the north-western corner due to the need for new basement spaces (central heating installation) and new rooms on the ground floor and first floor (at the time scullery, ironing room, bedroom). In the resulting recess in the rear facade Suyling inserted a balcony. A single-storey extension with flat roof appeared at the north-eastern corner of the front facade.

The remaining alterations, from 1947 and 1990 (conversion to office), were less extensive. The garage on the site dates from 1924 and falls outside the protection.

Description

The partly cellaraged, cemented and white-painted building covers a complex floor plan. The original main volume covers a T-shaped floor plan and comprises two storeys and an attic storey under a composite hipped roof clad with improved Dutch tiles, flattened on the street side. In the left corner original single-storey erker extension with flat roof with balcony. In the right corner single-storey extension with flat roof from 1920. On the ridge ends original chimneys, others non-original. On three sides continuous, overhanging, slightly profiled gutter with below it a drip moulding. On the rear facade two later (1909, 1920) partly cellaraged two-storey extensions with large flat roof overhang with profiled metal gutter on decoratively carved corbels. The later extensions are lower than the original building volume and in the recess between the two volumes is on the first floor a balcony. Southern volume lies in line with the left facade, the northern volume projects in relation to the original right facade, so that (together with the other later extension in the corner of the right and front facades) a second recess forms in the right facade.

Along the base of the building a continuous plinth, interrupted only at entrance, conservatory and veranda. Symmetrical front facade of three bays with two drip mouldings (at the windows also forming cill) and emphasised central bay. Three-stepped limestone stair leads to a glazed and barred double panel door with needle and dart motif above which a fanlight furnished with stained glass. Around the door profiled moulding. Before the door a porch with wrought-iron stair railings attached to cast-iron pillars with leaf capitals on which wooden posts support the balcony above. Between the posts and the front facade sections (quarters) of trefoil arches and in the front a half trefoil arch with quatrefoils cut out in the arch fields. Central bay on the first floor flanked by pilasters which at the level of the roof (gutter interrupted here) transition into a round-arched roof dormer with shoulder pieces containing a round-arched window framed with a eyebrow arch on corbels. At the point of the interrupted drip moulding the name 'Tervliet' is painted. Remaining windows (cross-shaped sash windows on the ground floor and mansard windows on the first floor) with fanlights furnished with stained glass and shutters. On the left side a four-sided erker extension with windows and door (fanlights stained glass) between cast-iron columns.

Left facade of the original building volume correspondingly detailed. Right facade with in the recess (between the later extensions) a side exit with flat roof with glazed frontage and glazed door above granite stair. Extensions on the rear side with among other things in the fanlight of the veranda yellow cathedral glass and in the fanlights of the windows on the first floor of the north-western extension (1920) stained glass windows showing influence of De Stijl. Further in this extension various cellar ventilation grilles with security bars.

Of the interior worthy of mention: enlarged house cellar with barrel arches and cemented and white-painted groined vaults between profiled iron beams; behind the glazed double panel door of the vestibule a spacious hall with white marble floor tiles and a marble plinth; partly panel doors with oval, decoratively worked copper door knobs and profiled moulding, often on black marble cills; wall cupboards, sliding doors and fanlights with stained glass; stucco ceilings with geometric motifs, square mouldings round the walls and/or circular mouldings in the centre with a floral motif in the centre; in the passage to the right side exit a small fountain with blue-white wall tiles; black-green marble fireplace in the right corner extension; stair in the hall with on both the ground floor and the first floor two decoratively carved main balusters; profiled moulding as wainscoting in various rooms; landing with balcony doors furnished with stained glass and seven-sided wooden columns on various wall edges; curved wooden stair rail beside the attic stair.

Valuation

The dwelling house with ornamental garden, drive and fencing is of general importance. The object has cultural-historical value as a special expression of the socio-economic development in North Brabant in the second half of the nineteenth century. It forms a representative example of the monumental dwelling houses built by wealthy citizens in a location in Vught that could offer rural peace just outside the (owing to favourable traffic location) easily accessible large city of Den Bosch. The object possesses architectural-historical values on account of the architectural qualities of in particular the front facade and the special ornamentation in particular of the porch, the erker and the fencing.

The object has ensemble value as a striking component of the historical development on the Taalstraat (protected village townscape at municipal level) and contributes to the visual integrity thereof.
