NEW HOLLAND WATERLINE

Introduction

WOODEN SHED (south-west side of terreplein) (a) (3), as non-bomb-proof storage of material or functional space. At various locations within and outside fort grounds over the decades wooden, stone and metal ('tin') sheds have been built to serve as (provisional or permanent) storage space, storage, accommodation for people or material, hospital, fire service, horse stable, guardhouse, etc. A large part of these sheds has since decayed, been demolished or relocated, but others still exist in situ. Sometimes these are particularly simple structures of small size, but there are also more complex and larger examples. Of the wooden sheds built in the 19th century at Fort Everdingen, three still exist, including - Shed a (3) and Shed b (2).

Description

A green-painted WOODEN SHED (a) (3) on the south-west side of the terreplein, which was built around 1880 and was the second largest on the fort. The building stands near the beginning of the south-western bastion, at virtually right angles to the earthworks there. The shed measures approximately 20 x 7.50 metres and is covered by a gabled roof with ample overhang, laid with red-fired, hollow tiles. There are a few small roof windows and the building has white-painted wooden weather vanes. Zinc gutters on brackets. The facades are constructed from rabat sections; no foundation was observed. The north-eastern facade contains between twice two windows (some of which fitted with wooden shutters), an entrance with double wooden doors. The opposite facade contains five windows. They are all fitted with windows with glazing bars. The gable facades contain two and one entrance(s) respectively, which are fitted with double (clamped?) lattice doors with substantial iron hinges. At attic level (entirely white-painted) doors only executed. The interior was not visited.

Valuation

WOODEN SHED (south-west side of terreplein) (a) (3) is of general importance because of:

* Cultural-historical values as part of the New Holland Waterline as designed by C.R.T. Kraijenhoff and implemented in the first instance from 1815 by him, Jan Blanken and major-engineer Willem Offerhaus and subsequently strengthened and improved by others for approximately 125 years.

* Architectural-historical values, in particular as an expression of wooden construction related to military-strategic building practice, which is based on: a. the system of inundation and access defence (19th century), b. the race with increasingly strengthening offensive means (19th century).

This concerns a component from the period 1871-1886, namely a wooden storage shed from 1880.

* Ensemble value and situational values as part of the New Holland Waterline. Also because of the functional and physical coherence with the other components of the complex.

* The component is representative because it is an example of an authentic wooden storage building installed on a defensive work.

* The component is reasonably well preserved because the main form and construction detailing as well as various components have remained intact.
