Valeriusstraat 87-91:
The buildings on Valeriusstraat were constructed between approximately 1901 and 1904, and many properties were designed by the same architects. Valeriusstraat 89 (the central facade) was built by architect duo P.A.J. Scheelbeek and J.J. Heijthekker, who designed with more creativity than their colleagues. Many houses on this street feature Art Nouveau details such as wrought iron with whiplash lines, arched doorways, stained glass, and sometimes tile tableaux in portals and archways. This is one of the finest and purest blocks, with a slightly Viennese feel. The left and right facades are mirrored, with a distinctive central facade between them. They sit on a base of gray hardstone and are further constructed with brick and white-painted details. Each facade has two doors leading to the lower and upper apartments, and the buildings have five floors, including a basement. The left and right facades have round balconies on the first floor and rectangular balconies on the second, with wrought iron railings. The window frames are three-part with segmental arches or stone lintels, and the windows on the third floor sit in large arches with decorative stone blocks. The cornices extend far out. The central facade has a projecting three-part window with circular decorations on the ground floor and a three-sided balcony above it. The windows on the upper floors are also three-part, and the cornice is flat with pilasters.
