Art Deco town house built for R. Meulijzer to a 1933 design by the architect François Dens. The sober, streamlined natural-stone cornice façade, with four storeys under a flat roof, emphasises the central axis with a bow window and balcony over the two main floors. The unornamented facing is treated with recessed panels; the Art Deco character is most evident in the wrought iron, of which only the balcony railing survives. It is recorded in the Flemish architectural heritage inventory.
Translated from the French original.
