Bredevoortsestraatweg 31, Aalten

Overview

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the Lohuis family lived in a house at the corner of Bredevoortsestraatweg and Prinsenstraat, then known as Achterstraat. They rented out two rooms as separate living quarters.

Around 1854, the family sold the house to Bernardus Hendrikus Vaags and emigrated to America. Vaags remodelled the building and opened a grocery shop, which successive generations of the Vaags family continued to run. In the early 1960s, the property passed to Marinus Jansen, who also ran a grocery shop there.

After Jansen’s shop closed, the building briefly served as a post office. It was demolished in the early 1970s and replaced by premises occupied by the fashion shop Modehuis Markerink-Bentsink. The replacement building was set back to provide more space for the street. It is now used for housing.
