House u. Oeder private gallery
The house with private gallery Oeder was at Jacobistraße 10 in Düsseldorf . The building was built in 1872/1873 by the master builder Lorenz Schillmann for the painter Georg Oeder and converted and extended in 1894 for 160,000 marks by the architects Hubert Jacobs and Gottfried Wehling .
In 1904 a city guide pointed to the Oeders collection as a sight:
"Of the existing private galleries, that of Prof. G. Oeder, the well-known landscape painter and owner of a beautiful Japanese collection (Jacobistraße), is probably one of the richest and certainly one of the best."

Interior design
The building was characterized by its elaborate interior design, the rooms were carefully coordinated. The extensive picture gallery was attached to the living rooms on the ground floor. This was in the historicist style of the Italian Renaissance with a richly ornamented and gilded ceiling with skylight. The door was framed in Nassau marble, designed by Adolf Schill . The walls above the marble panels were covered with gray plush linen. On the first floor there was a studio and adjoining it the lavishly furnished “Italian room” with a walnut wood ceiling with painted ornaments. The walls of the room were covered with gray linen, gray plush strips covered the seams. The studio had a red glazed wooden beam ceiling with bronze decorations and walnut fillings. The walls were covered with walnut paneling with fields made of Japanese matting. Above that, the wall surface was plastered white. The designs were coordinated by the architect Wehling with the client.
