Antwerp — Jan Van Rijswijcklaan, from no. 178 to Boomsesteenweg
This route starts on Jan Van Rijswijcklaan, where nos. 178 to 190, designed from 1926 to 1931 by Hendrik Delvaux, Joseph Somers, Joseph De Lange and Eduard De Winter, comprise a town house and three town mansions in the form of semi-detached urban villas. Via Ryckmansstraat, with the house of the engineer L.J. Williame, general manager of the Béliard-Crighton shipyard, built in 1935 to a design by Joseph Somers, it reaches the Willems house by Paul Smekens and Carlos Van der Voodt (1927) and the two rental houses by François Dens (1927). Then come the houses on Kruishofstraat (1928), which the inventory record links to the influence of the Amsterdam School and of Dudok, a house Willy Fisher designed at the age of twenty-one (1929) and the building Alfred Portielje and Jan De Braey designed in 1931; the route then reaches the Public Assistance Commission building, completed in 1928 at the fork with Jan De Voslei, and ends at the apartment building by Ferdinand Van Mierlo (1929), at the junction with Boomsesteenweg.
