     This house is the main building of the yard 'Kurá di Shon Ki'. It is situated on the so called 'seru" (hill) of Otrobanda, close to the Breedestraat. The
     baroque curved gables as well as a date at the back of the house (most likely 1729) indicate that the building goes back to the early 18th century.
     Therefore, it has to be one of the oldest structures on the hill of Otrobanda. The plan of the house is typical of the Curacao plantation houses consisting      of a core and a gallery. The yard is called after the Kikkert family, which owned the place in the 19th century. Contrary to common opinion the first
     governor Albert Kikkert never lived here.

     Stadsherstel acquired the building in 1997. The building will be restored possible in 2010 - 2012. The house has two stories and is located in the middle      of the rather spacious yard of 4000 m2.
