Winkelwoonhuis Kerkstraat 48 - Helmond

This shop-residential house with a facade from 1890 was fitted with a shop window in Art Nouveau style in 1926 for the butcher F. A. Stevens. The building is possibly sixteenth or seventeenth century.

The one-storey deep house is covered by a hipped roof with black and red Old Dutch tiles. The word Vleeschhouwerij is printed in gilded letters in the Art Nouveau shop window.

The shophouse has cultural-historical values ​​as a representative of the development of the middle class in North Brabant and as an example of the typological development of the shophouse from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. The shop front has architectural-historical value as a late example of Art Nouveau. The building is important for the construction history because of the layered nature of the individual construction phases. It has ensemble values ​​as part of a well-preserved part of the city center. It is well preserved and extremely rare due to its complicated construction history.
