Description

Introduction

Building 2 stands detached in a lawn between numbers 15 and 18, on the south side of the northern road on Vrijland-Noord. The roof ridge extends from east to west and runs parallel with that road. Building 2 is a military building with technical function - possibly a storage facility - created in 1941 as a 'Sonderbau', and at macro level forms part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level part of a sparse complex of buildings arranged in a rectangular-geometric structure, and at micro level one of several relatively solitary buildings placed in direct connection with that spatial structure.

Description

Single-storey, relatively large, with approximately 50 cm thick external brickwork MILITARY BUILDING WITH TECHNICAL FUNCTION, on a predominantly rectangular floor plan, covered by a gabled roof tiled with grey concrete tiles and having both gable ends rounded off. On the left in the southern long facade an extension brought under an extended roof shield. The western gable end / main facade with on the left one and on the right two window openings under a relieving arch, with concrete sill, in which above hinged awning windows and below double wooden four-light casement windows opening inward, and below the sill sheet-steel shutters with green and white painted moulding motif; between these an arched entrance opening with a fanlight divided in four and a green painted lattice door and on the right the side facade of the extension. At attic level three windows with double inward-opening windows divided in four. Eastern gable end symmetrical, with four window openings under a relieving arch, with concrete sill, in which above hinged awning windows and below double wooden four-light casement windows opening inward, but without shutters; and at attic level three windows with double inward-opening windows divided in four. Southern long facade with nine window openings under a relieving arch, with concrete sill, in which above hinged awning windows and below double wooden four-light casement windows opening inward, and below the sill sheet-steel shutters with green and white painted moulding motif. To the left of this the extension, with in the eastern side facade an arched window and in the southern one a small window with casement windows and shutters. The northern long facade with from left to right three, four and two comparable windows, interrupted by three entrance openings. The left one is arched, furnished with a wooden lattice door and presumably later introduced; the second consists of a later introduced tall and wide entrance with roller shutter and the right one is an entrance under a relieving arch with divided fanlight and wooden door. Gutter brackets; white painted wind vanes. The interior partly modernised.

Valuation

MILITARY BUILDING WITH TECHNICAL FUNCTION - possibly a storage facility, of general importance as a recognisable component of a military camp originating from the Second World War and established by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, by reason of: architectural-historical, urban-planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which among others may be evident from the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, from the components and details characteristic of the construction period, from the artificially created and strongly geometrically organised settlement structure that closely follows the pre-existing spatial arrangement and the camouflage carried through in its details within this structure, from the coherence with and within the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and from the mutual relationship of the forms applied in this.
