Ghent-Sint-Amandsberg — from Land van Waaslaan to Wolterslaan
In Sint-Amandsberg, this route brings together twelve Art Deco buildings from 1927 to 1935. It starts on Land van Waaslaan, with a house by the Ghent architect Hubert Louël (1929), then passes, on Victor Braeckmanlaan, a house by Ernest Snoeck (1932), signed on the façade, a house by Camiel Rottiers (1934) with its coloured stained glass preserved, and Edgar Celie’s Limbourg house (1932). Towards Bouwmeestersstraat, a 1932 house is faced with green and black glazed tiles, and the contractor Michel Casaert submitted the building applications for the corner group of six houses and a café (1930); he also built, to plans by Constant Semal, the Aannemersstraat group (1931), where a carriage gate bears the inscription “ingang voor velos // reparatien”. Along the way: a double house on Klinkkouterstraat (1927) and a house on Scheldestraat (1930) with a gable decorated with a bearded man. The route ends on Wolterslaan, with two houses by Ernest Snoeck (1935 and 1932) and one by Jules Vandersichel (1932).
