Part of a three-storey wide house built under an 1861 building application, converted into a double house with an Art Deco facade to a design by the architect Geo Henderick, whose name appears on the base; according to the 1925 building application, it became the "Pâtisserie G. Henderick – Le Touriste". The cornice facade is partly faced with glazed tiles in chequerboard patterns on the piers; on the ground floor, two round-arched windows flank a parabolic doorway, and the arches rest on carved supports, two of them in the form of dwarfs. The door bay has a trapezoidal oriel and a balcony under a truncated top, the first-floor parapet bears the partly hidden inscription "Pâtisserie G. Henderick", and a blind attic rises above the wooden cornice on stepped brackets. The building is recorded in the Flemish architectural heritage inventory.
