Zaantjessteeg 22-24

Description

The historical structures at the corner of Zaantjessteeg and Gasthuisstraat have evolved on two combined lots. The oldest structure, Zaantjessteeg 22-24, showcases the traditional architectural style of the 19th century. The building was likely constructed around 1850 by Johannes Pieter Dewindt. Notable features include the gabled roof with lean-to additions at the front and back, as well as the distinctive triangular tops of the side gables. At a certain point, an extra floor was added to the corner structure.

In 1878, the property was purchased by Rafael Namias de Castro, and after a full century, it was sold to Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao by his descendants. Subsequently, the buildings underwent necessary restoration work.
