Art Deco apartment building designed in 1935 by the architect Jos Baeyens for F. Wijters and built in 1936. The eight-storey, flat-roofed building with a reinforced-concrete frame has a natural-stone façade dominated by a bay window spanning almost its full width, emphasised horizontally by the sills of the ribbon windows. The wrought-iron entrance door with its grid pattern and the building name and numbers in metal letters are original. The building is recorded in the Flemish architectural heritage inventory.
Translated from the French original.
