Homes in Wormerveer

betekenis & definitie

The deep house Zaanweg 24, dating from 1788, has a swung wooden front with side pilasters and crowning fronton. Late twentieth century is also the two-storey mansion Zaanweg 14 with mezzanine and an entry list in Louis XVI style.

Built in 1836 as a Mennonite presbytery, the sober neoclassical mansion Zaanweg 36. The white-painted wooden mansion Marktstraat 91 (1850, J. Kaan) was converted into a doctor's residence in 1881. The wooden villa Dubbele Buurt 3 (1866) is built in an early chalet style. The plastered houses Zaanweg 59 and 102 were built around 1870. The broad building Zaanweg 94 known as the restaurant 'Huis te Zaanen', was given a plastered façade in the 19th century for originally three 17th-century buildings.

Designed in rich neo-Renaissance style are the mansion Double Neighborhood 10 (1885), and the villas Double Neighborhood 18-18a (circa 1885) and Zaanweg 52 and 53 (1889). The villa Zaanweg 51 (circa 1885), which has been constructed with natural stone door frame, was later used as a school (rear extensions 1900 and 1955). Richly decorated with sandstone decorations is the Zaanweg 49 (1892) built for D. Laan. Neo-Renaissance and chalet style details show the villas Overbosch (Wandelweg 60; 1893), Zaanweg 46 (circa 1900), Marktstraat 5 (circa 1900) and Wandelweg 54 (1904).

Examples of small wooden houses built around 1875 are Sluispad 13 (1869), the double dwelling Marktstraat 120-122 (circa 1880) - with a gate from 1723 - and the deep houses Zaanweg 62-62a, Steynstraat 10 and Schoolpad 33 (approx. 1890), all with cut wind springs. Striking is the housing complex Zeeheldenbuurt (De Ruyterkade et al., Circa 1915), built for workers of Wessanen's Royal Factories.
