Description

Introduction

Large SHOP-DWELLING-HOUSE from 1899 designed by architect G. Versteeg in a style related to Art Nouveau. The section tile tableaux with municipal coats of arms of municipalities from the Westland and floral motifs were manufactured by the Delft factory 'De Porceleyne Fles'. The building is visually dominant in the protected townscape on the corner of Camaretten-Wijnhaven, opposite the Hippolytusbuurt and near the Market.

Description

Underbuilt shop-dwelling-house on a composite plan, consisting of a rectangle with a rectangular recess on the south-eastern corner. The building of three storeys with roof storey is constructed in brickwork (cross-bond, cut joint). The composite roof with flattened hipped roof and cross-roofs is covered with red tuiles du Nord. The wooden drip moulding is supported on moulded corbels. Around the brickwork hoist openings on the Wijnhaven (west facade) is a cast-iron railing on hard stone plinth stones.

The facades are characterised by varied material use and careful detailing such as a hard stone plint, drip moulding, rich wrought-iron wall anchors, sash windows with moulded hard stone lintels, which extend horizontally across the full width of the facade and vertically to the height of the mullion, hard stone under- and drip lintels, wooden sash windows with coloured leaded glass fanlights and carved stiles, decorative brickwork in the arch fields, a shop front of iron and granite, a wooden entrance door to the residential part with wrought-iron hinges and grille, section tile tableaux, ceramic pirons.

The north facade on the Cameretten consists of a four window-axis broad left part and a part with a gable top. On the left, on the first storey across the full width of the four window-axes is a shop front. In the plint cellar lights with decorative wrought-iron grilles. Four granite pilasters with decorative wrought-ironwork with above them a steel shop lintel, enriched with wrought-ironwork in floral motifs at the height of the pilasters. Far left the entrance to the dwelling with door with panes and fanlight. The wooden showcase windows have fanlights with curved glazing bars and coloured leaded glass. On the first floor four sash windows with natural stone, connected lintels, which extend along the edges to the corners of the frames. In the two-part fanlights of the sash windows coloured leaded glass. On the second floor four sash windows under lintel with T-sash windows and three-part fanlight with coloured glass. In the roof planes two wooden roof dormers under hip-roof caps with two windows with sash windows and six-pane fanlight. The right facade part is closed by a spout gable erected above the eaves, which at the top is finished straight with a balustrade. The facade contains two windows with common lintel and sash windows with leaded glass. On the floors each time three windows under common lintel and with narrow brickwork wall studs. In the middle a sash window with two-part fanlight and on either side narrow windows with sash windows. At the height of the floor level each time a frieze with section tile tableaux. Entirely in the top a natural stone multiple frame with a cross window with natural stone mullion and nine-pane fanlights and on either side thereof small sash windows. Above the window arrangement an arch with section tile tableaux in the arch field. The west facade on the Wijnhaven is likewise characterised by a division into two. The plint in fair-faced brickwork, which is closed by a hard stone drip moulding contains two hoist openings with three cellar windows with moulded lintel. In the first storey two narrow, tall, sash windows. Above it a blind opening with hard stone drip moulding and above on the second floor a three-part window with richly moulded lintel and narrow brickwork mullions, which are finished with hard stone keystones. The right facade part across the width of two window-axes contains on the ground floor a window and to its right an entrance (replacement of window). On the floors each time two T-sash windows with three-part fanlight. In the spout gable a hoist opening with richly carved, wooden, double hoist door (glass door with three-part fanlight) with on either side a small window. Above it a hoist beam under a tile-covered small roof. In the arch field section tile tableaux.

The interior has preserved the original layout and detailing largely on the floors. Of importance are among others: draught door with coloured leaded glass, stucco ceilings, marble fireplaces, coloured leaded glass fanlights, wooden kitchen hood, fixed kitchen cabinet, wooden staircase with wooden balustrade with carved parts, panelled doors, beaded ceiling boards (roof boarding), cellar with barrel-vault ceilings and iron beams.
