Description

Since 1877, this lot has been part of a larger property, along with Breedestraat 163 – 165 and the lean-to houses at Carthagenastraat 02 – 12. At that time, Spanish consul William Henriquez purchased a vacant strip with a cistern on it, situated between the twin houses and his office at Breedestraat 171 – 173. In 1887, shipbuilder Manuel Raven bought the whole property and built the two-story main house on the vacant strip (currently #169), and a more modest back house (currently # 167). The back house was constructed partially on top of two cisterns, which now house the kitchen and living room of apartment 167B. The main house facing Breedestraat features neoclassical elements popular in the second half of the 19th century. Before the restoration, the first floor could only be reached from the balcony on the left. The buildings were restored in 1995 by Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao and now house a commercial unit and three apartments.
