9. GROUP OF MONUMENTS, ALLEY AREA Location: Otrobanda. St. Martinsteeg 1 and Van Dijksteeg I - 3; Zaantjessteeg 14, 18 - 20, 22 - 24, 26 - 28, 30 - 38, 42, 43, 44, 56 - 74, 45, 63 - 69, 73 - 77 Ownership: Curaçao Housing Foundation [Fundashon Kas Popular]; Curagao Foundation for Preservation [Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao]; The Island Territory of Curaçao Detached premises, Eighteenth Century. Saddle-backed roof above the core, connecting above the front and rear galleries. Roofs covered with red Old Dutch pantiles. The buildings are of general interest because of the folkloristic value and the typical Curaçao plan with a core and galleries at the front and rear. Also of considerable importance is the ensemble value of the dwellings and the quality of the exterior area (alleys) and courtyards. The restoration and renovation programme also involved the social-cultural dimension. Restoration of the premises: 1990 and the years thereafter. In 1990 an architectural contest for that area has resulted in a recent contemporary fill in of open spaces, created by demolishment or neglect of the decennia before. |
