Description

Seamstress Belly Nahr built this distinctive two-story townhouse in 1880 on the site of a small dwelling she bought in the same year. Miss Nahr, born into slavery, was granted her freedom by Jacob Jeosuah Naar in 1856. Alongside owning Consciëntiesteeg 35a/Dwergsteeg 1-3, she also possessed the neighboring two-story building, Consciëntiesteeg 42-42a, as well as a house in Punda. Eventually, she sold her real estate to the children of her sister and brother-in-law Jozef Etienne Van der Linde. In 1894, Consciëntiesteeg 35a/Dwergsteeg 1-3 was acquired by Miss Maria Magdalena van der Linde, who remained unmarried and childless. She passed away in 1960.

In 2020, Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao bought the property to save the townhouse from becoming a ruin.
