Het Groene Huis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Het Groene Huis, also called: Cas Ecury

Het Groene Huis is a listed villa in the center of Oranjestad on the island of Aruba . It was built in 1929 by the architect Merdardo "Dada" Picus. The green paint was eponymous.

The property was nicknamed Cas Ecury because it was the home of the family of the wealthy businessman Dudun Ecury for a long time. Boy Ecury lived in this house until he moved to the Netherlands in 1937.

The restoration was carried out on the initiative of the Aruba Heritage Office and co-financed by the European Union . It was carried out by the Bichara architectural studio.

The building is currently used as an exhibition space and office for the Archaeological Museum.
