Ravenstein - Old House

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 27 August 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Notice the three round holes in the façade: they are intended for owls and called uilegaten (owl holes), also notice the green panel shutter below, intended for (as I can remember from the fifties) coal supply for heating. The coal is poured into the coal cellar through it. Notice aso the brick cross in the façade indicating the the inhabitants are good Catholics.
