Background information:
On the Heuvelplein in Beek en Donk (North Brabant) is the "Old Town Hall". The town hall has two floors, the so-called "bel-floor" can be entered via the stairs at the front of the building. On the 2nd floor, until about 1930, all functions of the town hall were located. At that time, there was a police station on the ground floor. This was accessible through the double arched door in the staircase. Since about 1980, the entire building is used as a single residence.
Architectural details:
The building was built according to a traditional model in 1867. The hand-shaped brick facades have a plastered plinth and a profiled gutter molding with plastered frieze. The rear extension was built in 1930. A slightly larger size of brick was used for the extension, which can also be found in the Markenburg model. The T-shaped beams of the window frames form skylights that are filled with stained glass. The dipped hipped roof of the main volume is covered with Dutch tiles. The original chimneys disappeared during the construction of central heating.
