History location
This residence was built around 1730 and is very similar in structure and style to West Indian House 22 on Wijnstraat 87. Around 1800 the property was remodeled and the fireplace was placed in the back room on the first floor. Decorations were also added to the door frame. In this back room in 1740, wallpaper paintings by Aert Schouman were commissioned by then owner Hoogeveen. These paintings with the theme "Il pastor fido" are unfortunately no longer present, although remnants of a ceiling painting have been preserved. In the hall and vestibule there is still beautiful stucco work with ornaments from the Louis XIV period.
