Description

SHOP-DWELLING HOUSE consisting of two building structures. The rear section, which presumably was built around 1540 from yellow-red brick, is a rectangular stins-like building under a roof tile-covered gabled roof. The basement room situated lower than ground level, without heating place, is covered by a beam ceiling, with secondary beams laid parallel to the skeleton beams installed as replacement of children's beams. Between back room and intermediate room a carefully profiled end 18th-century built-in bed wall. Likewise six-light sash windows. The upper floor room is covered by a ceiling of oak tie-beams and children's beams, with oak boarding between them. The tie-beams have keystone details with Renaissance detailing. Mid-17th-century oak door, built-in bed with ventilation shutter and tie-beam timberwork with oak boarding. The roof has a ridge beam on ridge trusses. The cock timbers are missing. The front house, which was possibly built or rebuilt around 1625-1650, is constructed from (possibly reused) red brick and is covered by a three-sided hipped roof with tiles set against a 19th-century cornice-topped facade. The various rooms contain in particular end 18th-century elements: in shop and corridor floors of white marble and black stone tiles, timberwork and cupboard wall. Front facade and shop interior. The front facade and shop interior furnishings date from 1873: substantial, detailed shop front on worked grey stone plinth, three T-windows with stucco moulding on the upper floor and heavy profiled cornice, which encompasses a round-arch window, in front of which a small balcony resting on worked consoles. The shop interior still contains the doors to the office and the windows to the intermediate room, as well as the counter and shelves.
