     Abraham Benjamin Jesurun has built this somewhat modest house at the Scharlooweg between 1880 and 1900. Contrary to most houses at the
     Scharlooweg it does not have a large garden in front, but is situated relatively close to the street.

     The plan of the house consists of a core with a front and a back gallery, which is typical of the Curaçaoan plantation house. The core has two stories. At
     the rear there were two wings with a narrow patio in between.

     Since 1994 Stadsherstel has been the owner of this house. Two years later it was restored and adapted to the function as an office building. Because
     that the space in the house was inadequate, the small patio at the rear has been covered and transformed into office space. To obtain more space the
     two-storied modern staircase was added at the western sidewall of the house, which leads to the second floor of the core.
