Description

This remarkable two-story building, with its curved Baroque façades and dormers, largely dates back to the 18th century, making it one of the oldest structures in Otrobanda. The earliest known owner was Salomon Bulte, who sold the building in 1809. In 1873, the industrious and wealthy widow Anna Clasina Schoonewolff-Hoyer, who also owned plantations, carried out substantial renovations. She added three two-story extensions for rental purposes at the former back of the house, along the present Langestraat.

The Baroque 18th-century section originally served as the front part of the building and boasted open galleries with arched openings, which were gradually enclosed over time.
