Remarkable symmetrical set of 5 houses, designed by the duo August Cols and Alfried Defever in 1903, on the theme of time.
De Morgen at n° 55 and Den Avond at n°63, are identical in red brick, punctuated by windows surmounted by a lowered arch in yellow brick. The themes of time are illustrated by ceramic tile panels.
The similar houses in the middle Den dag and De Nacht in light brick, are separated by the central house Den Tijd. This one stands out with its large bay window surmounted by a ceramic panel. The Den Tijd and Den Nacht houses, also illustrated by ceramics, have a pointed pediment.
The whole is in a very good state of conservation and has been intelligently restored.
Houses listed in 1984, like most houses in the neighborhood.
