The house through the years

A house has stood here since 1832.

Five moments from almost two hundred years on the corner of Imminkstraat.

Postcard from 1910 to 1920: the brick gable of the house, with the round window at the top, three windows on the upper floor and espaliered trees in front of the ground floor
The same gable today, in the spring sunshine: painted white, with the round window, dark shutters, the front door and the ochre hanging sign beside it
Postcard from 1900 to 1904: Achterweg with tram rails; in the middle, the low white house from before the rebuilding, trees and children in the street
On the left between 1910 and 1920, still in brick; on the right today: the same gable. Postcard: Het Utrechts Archief, cat. no. 6923 (public domain). The present-day photo is a reconstruction from two photos taken in April 2024, corrected to the postcard’s viewpoint. Between 1900 and 1904, before the rebuilding: the low white house on Achterweg, with tram rails in the street. Postcard: Het Utrechts Archief, cat. no. 6922 (public domain).

  1. 1832

    A house on the corner

    The first land register, from 1832, already shows a house with a yard here. It belongs to Elie Merz, a merchant from Weesperkarspel.

  2. around1885

    Bos’s shop

    1900 to 1904. Het Utrechts Archief, cat. no. 6922

    Around 1885, the shopkeeper Bos takes over the shop that is already here. Until the 1960s you can buy colonial goods, chocolate and bonbons, chemist’s wares and crockery here. The paper bag proudly reads: “Specialiteit in versch gebrande koffie” (speciality: freshly roasted coffee).

  3. 1904

    An extra storey

    In 1904 the house on the corner is thoroughly rebuilt and gains an upper storey. An old postcard already shows the façade as you know it today, with the round window at the top and tram rails in the street.

  4. around1988

    A restaurant gives the house its name

    After the shop come a supermarket and, around 1988, briefly a restaurant. The restaurant disappears. The name stays: De Drie Kelken, ‘the three goblets’.

  5. 2023

    A house to stay in

    The ‘Gemeentelijk monument’ plaque and the tile with house number 1 beside the front door
    Beside the front door: the ‘Gemeentelijk monument’ (a municipal listed building) plaque.

    The house is now a municipal listed building. You have been able to stay here since 2023.

The thread running through the story

The hanging sign.

On the façade hangs an ochre sign: three goblets that together form a face, with a moustache and beard, wings and a ribbon. Today there are two of them. In a photo from 2016 the sign is already hanging on the Boschstraat side, still dark at the time. We don’t know who made it.
