Description

Introduction

Building 60A lies in a wooded environment, directly to the north-west and in the immediate vicinity of number 60, on the north side of a straight east-facing axis on Groot-Heidekamp. The roof ridge is oriented east-west and runs parallel to the road. Building 60A is a shed created in 1940-1941 and is at macro level part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level of a sparse complex of buildings placed in a radiating village-green-like arrangement, and within this at micro level of a series of buildings positioned in loose linear arrangement. The small building later served a function in the field of (telephone) communications.

Description

Single-storey brick SHED on rectangular footprint, with narrow corner buttresses on all facades, under a shallow-sloped hipped roof with short overhang and laid with grey corrugated tiles. Directly under the overhang an approximately 50 cm high angled window strip all around, in which individual hinged windows are placed on a lintel. Centrally in the southern side facade / main facade an access opening with double partly glazed wooden outward-opening doors. Other facades only provided with said window strip. Moreover all around directly under the window strip traces of restoration or alteration. The interior is partly modernized and consists of an undivided space with along the walls various remnants of a presumed later-introduced telephone installation. The roof has wooden trusses.

Valuation

SHED, of general interest as a recognizable component of a military camp dating from the Second World War and set up by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, on account of: architectural-historical, urban-planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which can be evident inter alia from the components and details characteristic of the period of construction, from the artificially established village-green-like structure and the camouflage carried through to the finest detail, from the coherence with the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and from the mutual relationship of the forms applied herein.
