Apartment building with a café on the corner of Van den Nestlei and Provinciestraat, built for Jules G. Van Dyck to a design by the architect Ferdinand Van Mierlo (1927, façade inscription) and completed in 1928. This seven-bay, five-storey corner building on a reinforced-concrete frame received a façade entirely in natural stone, symmetrical, alternating corner projections and intermediate bays under a toothed crowning; the slightly taller corner is marked by three-sided oriels rising to a crowning balcony. The strongly vertical upper floors, between giant pilasters and lesenes, carry fluted profiles, friezes, dentil courses and repetitive parapet decoration typical of Art Deco.
Translated from the French original.
