Roeselare
Roeselare — from Wilgenstraat to Rumbeke
In Roeselare, this short route brings together six Art Deco houses from 1930 to 1938. It starts at a house on Wilgenstraat dated 1932 by its façade stone, designed by Edgard Termote, of Brussels, in yellow and orange brick, then reaches a house of 1934 on Leenstraat, with sawtooth and chequered brickwork. On Rumbeeksesteenweg, Joseph De Coninck signed in 1935 a house in yellow, yellow-brown and brown brick enhanced with green terrazzo and blue tiles, and E. Braeye in 1938 the Villa Jeannette, with a semicircular oriel between two rounded balconies. The route ends in Rumbeke, at “Onze Lust”, J. Lagae’s own house (1930), and two mirror-image houses by Ernest Apers (1935).
