Description

Introduction.

The TOWNHOUSE is located on the southern side of the Hinthamerstraat, in the centre of 's-Hertogenbosch. The core of the townhouse consists of two older, probably 17th-century dwelling houses - called the Hopzak and the Kalverendans - which were merged around 1880. In the process, the building on the street side was extended by one bay and received a new front façade in Eclectic style. The townhouse is built adjacent to neighbouring properties on both sides. On the rear side, the townhouse has a more recent extension on the ground floor. In the 1990s, the townhouse underwent some internal modifications, including in the kitchen and the stairwell on the first floor: however, the original layout was largely preserved.

Description.

The partially cellared townhouse has two storeys under a flat roof with hipped sections, covered with slate, partly under hipped roof, covered with improved Dutch tiles. Above the central bay a roof dormer, crowned with a pediment. On either side of this zinc oculi. Cornice-topped facade with cornice on brackets. The facades are constructed in brick, with a hard stone plinth, drip moulding, lintel strips, door surround and balcony in the front facade.

The front facade is symmetrical and has five bays, the central one slightly projecting. The rooms are provided with arched T-sash windows. In the central risalit is the main entrance. This is formed by a double glazed panel door with arched fanlight. Hard stone rusticated surround. Above it a hard stone balcony, resting on volute-shaped consoles. Hard stone balustrade. Opening glazed balcony doors with an arched fanlight. Around these balcony doors a rusticated surround in brickwork. Beneath the roof dormer, the slightly projecting cornice is provided with triglyphs and metopes.

The narrower rear facade is provided with a render layer with false joints. The facade is finished with a moulded rainwater gutter. Closed windows with casements and hard stone lintel. At ground floor level, the original rear facade is hidden behind a later extension: the facade is preserved as an internal wall.

Internally, the original layout is largely preserved. On the ground floor a vestibule, with the central corridor behind it. On the left a richly decorated front room, behind it the stairwell. On the rear side there was originally the kitchen. On the right side of the corridor three rooms, which are separated by sliding doors. On the upper floor at the front two living rooms. Also a number of original interior elements are preserved. Of particular importance are: in the vestibule decorative tile wainscoting, draught door with etched panes; in the front room on the left a painted stucco ceiling, painted wainscotings and panel door, window seats and natural stone fireplace; in the front room on the right a simpler painted stucco ceiling and sliding doors. On the upper floor in the living rooms stucco ceilings and a wooden sliding door. Below the front room and stairwell an older cellar with barrel vault.

Valuation.

The townhouse is of general importance. The townhouse has cultural-historical value as a notable expression of socio-economic development: it forms a good example of the luxurious residential and townhouses on the Hinthamerstraat. The townhouse has architectural-historical value as an example of a carefully detailed Eclectic townhouse and through its distinctive use of materials. The townhouse has ensemble value because of the significance of this prominent building for the appearance of the Hinthamerstraat. Finally, the townhouse is important because of its integrity.
