59. Claessens House

This house was built in 1898, to the design of the architect Armand Van Waesberghe, with several Art Nouveau features. The asymmetric facade is made up of light-coloured bricks, bands of red bricks and blue stone, and is decorated with a sinuous Art Nouveau wrought-iron balcony. The interior creates a welcoming atmosphere with Art Nouveau features, including the newel post on the staircase and the stylised floral designs in the dining room to the rear.
