Description

Description of complex component 22: 19th-century Shelf or PALM HOUSE on a rectangular plan covered by a gabled roof with a short and a longer slope, which has arisen from the heightening of an already existing shelf house. The high west or entrance elevation has two wooden hinged doors with high breast wall and per door 2x2 panes. The ridge of the gabled roof is placed asymmetrically so that the northern slope, which also rests on the here heightened and reinforced vegetable garden wall, is 6 tiles high and the southern slope is 19. Between roof truss structure, breast wall and doors the elevation is covered with plastic corrugated sheeting, plywood and glass. The southern elevation has a rendered brick breast wall and sill with vertically placed iron T-profile glazing bars in the wall; 36 panes wide and 1 pane high. On the low elevation the large slope rests covered with smothered Oudhollandse tiles and ridge tiles; 19 rows high and 49 wide. At the western elevation the roof projects beyond the elevation and is finished with a flat moulding and weather board, at the eastern elevation the tiles are applied against the projecting rendered masonry with roll. Against the fully rendered brick, likewise asymmetric eastern elevation a smaller recessed shelf or seed house is built. The wooden door which in the Palm House provides access to the Seed House has 3 vertical panes and a breast wall. The breast wall is partly obscured from view because it is located in the ground. The northern elevation consists of high heavily roughly rendered masonry on which a long low roof slope rests with red and smothered Oudhollandse tiles. The northern elevation is a heightening and reinforcement of part of the Northern vegetable garden wall. The external render is so-called twig work. Numerous nails are driven into the wall, and four right-angled supports with bracing of T-iron are attached to the wall. The roof truss structure consists of iron glazing bars or T-profiles on traces of roundwood with purlins which are supported in the middle of the house by three posts of galvanised iron pipe on which a wooden girder is placed. This girder was before the heightening of the house the ridge girder. To the left of the posts at the level of the girder small composite metal trusses with a wooden ridge girder are placed and connect to the high heavy northern elevation. Inside, in the south and west elevations traces of the shelves, heating pipes and the imprint of the slope of the predecessor of the northern roof slope are visible.
