Building History
This remarkable monument comprises two properties that were merged towards the end of the 19th century. The rear building, constructed around 1850 by Gerard Marten Daal, displays all the characteristics of the architectural style of that era.
The front portion, featuring a balcony with elaborate wooden trimming, was constructed after Nicolina Paulina Job, a seamstress by profession, acquired the two properties in the 1890s. The fancy woodwork adorning the front, commonly referred to as gingerbread, gained popularity following an invention in the US around 1900 that enabled mechanized production. This style became particularly popular in the Windward Islands and was introduced to Curaçao in the early 20th century.
In 2000, Stichting Monumentenzorg Curaçao purchased and restored the building.
