Antwerp
Antwerp — from the Zuid to Nerviërsstraat
In the Zuid district, where new interwar buildings are fairly rare according to the inventory record, the route starts at a house by Vincent Cols and Jules De Roeck (1923), owned by the latter, and at the house Charles Emile Victor built for himself on the Bouwmeestersstraat (1929). It passes the radiology practice of Dr René Van Heurck (1922), the shed of L’Acide Carbonique Pur (1938), whose advertising façade shows two gas cylinders in relief, and a multi-family house by Jan Jacobs (1932). On the Haantjeslei, the Dursin building (1923), from the first generation of blocks of flats in Antwerp, bears reliefs probably depicting figures of the Antwerp Ommegang. Then come houses by Vincent Cols and Jules De Roeck, by Adolphe Van Coppernolle and by Paul Smekens and Carlos Van der Voodt (1928-1932), followed by three apartment buildings of the 1930s, by Joan Coninck Westenberg, by David Moëd and by Karel Van Riel and Maurice Janssens.
