Description

Around 1900, Pieter Lourens de Haseth constructed this neoclassical villa. In addition to his properties in the city, De Haseth owned several plantations. In 1923, Maria Louise Antoinette Savelkoul, known as Shon Poppy, acquired the house. She resided there with her husband, Dr. Jacobo Arends, and their children. Dr. Arends, serving as a physician and the Director of the Public Health Service, played a prominent role in the local community.

Subsequently, the Arends family rented the property to the Department of Social and Economic Affairs and the Immigration Department. In 2000, the villa found new ownership when it was sold to N.V. Stadsherstel Willemstad, which undertook a restoration project.

The villa boasts a portico adorned with double columns and a pediment. The sweeping staircase is distinguished by a stone parapet featuring intricately crafted openwork panels.
