IJzerstraat 14

Description

IJzerstraat 14 served as a residence of Jacob Gelt Dekker, the creator of the Kura Hulanda project. In 1998, he had the house meticulously restored and beautifully furnished. The two-story house was built by the Spanish Consul William Henriquez in 1861. In former days, the ground floor featured a kitchen, servants’ quarters, and very large cisterns, while the family lived on the upper floor. Notably, the southern extension on the ground floor housed the workshop of the skilled carpenter Juan Florencio Walter (1889-1988), affectionately known as “Dodo karpinté”.

Name of property:

None

Characteristics:

Detached assembly, mainly two-story, of different building blocks. The main structure is covered with two gable roofs enclosed by funnel-shaped gables with 19th-century top ends; and an oculus in plastered star. Dormers on the roof. Additional structures with gable and slant roofs. East façade: sash windows with glass bars. South façade: above door medallion with inscription ’57 1861′.

Monument value:

Architectural historical and esthetical value because of the complexity of the structure. Ditto because, together with the structures nrs.10-12 and nrs.16-20, it forms a characteristic and compact cul-de-sac with the original rubble stone street pavement. Specific value as part of a protected monumental townscape.

Construction period:

1861
