We think it may be useful to amateurs and artists, to add here a list of those buildings of a certain importance, that we have not as yet spoken of, and that either bear a date, or, the approximate date of which is known. c. 1470. Old Hotel de Fiennes, Naalde- straat ; now a school founded by the Rev. M' de Foere. This vast building, surmounted by a round tower with a crocketted spire and stone parapet of open work, — 29 — must have been built between 1451 and 1480. In our Geschiedenis van Midd...elburg in Vlaanderen, we tliouglit we might date it as far back as o. 1435, but a recent study of it has made us change our opinion. Peter Bladehn, treasurer of Philip of Burgundy and founder of Middelburg, had sold this house in 1451; Thomas Portunary, Floren- tine merchant and agent of the Medici of Florence, lived in this house of which he was owner, at the date of March 7*'' 1480. The windows present considerable analogy to those of the north front of the hotel Gruuthuuse, built c. 1470, and the niche above the entrance-door clearly belongs to the latter half of the fifteenth century.
