Maison de commerce Art déco, Gasthuisstraat 29 — Turnhout

Shop-house of two wide bays and two storeys in the Art Deco style, designed in 1931 by the Turnhout architect J.P. Verrees; the inventory clearly recognises in it the influence of the Amsterdam School of around 1915. The original brick upper façade has an irregular roofline joining a slate-covered pseudo-mansard roof with dormers. Typical ornaments in coloured brick and metal serve, among other things, to hold flags, and the rectangular and curtain-arched windows keep their original joinery. The ground floor has been altered. The building is recorded in the Flemish architectural heritage inventory.
