Eind 1999 heeft dit zeventiende-eeuwse huis zijn rijk geornamenteerde halsgevel teruggekregen Deze top was rond 1900 wegens bouwvalligheid vervangen door een eenvoudige lijstgevel. Aan de hand van oude foto's en tekeningen en door vergelijking met gelijksoortige gevels werd de top gereconstrueerd. De top bestaat uit een fronton in driepasvorm met borstbeeld, alsmede klauwstukken met siervazen en lambrekijn. Het borstbeeld bleek nog in de tuin aanwezig. De overige onderdelen werden door Atelier Snoep en Vermeer gehakt uit ruim veertien ton kalksteen.

De Vereniging Vrienden van Stadsherstel heeft het terugbrengen van de oorspronkelijke gevelbekroning financieel mogelijk gemaakt.
