This former shop and house was built around 1927 to designs by the Menen architect Gaston Boghemans for the Volksrecht cooperative society. Its screen facade connects with Art Deco through its varied brickwork, contrasting rendered and painted wall surfaces and a three-sided oriel, with the corners marked by vertical pilaster strips. It stands out for a recessed porch in a blocked surround, with a cement-tile floor in a floral pattern.
