The sign says:
In 1889 gebouwd op de plaats van huize Kellensteyn.
de vroegere woning van baron Van Verschuer.
Het is ontworpen door architect C.H. Peters en
opgetrokken in neo-gotische stijl De symmetrie werd
in 1908 verstoord door de aanbouw van twee identieke
traveeën aan de rechterzijde.
Door de Arnhemmers wordt het pand wel eens aangeduid
als de ‘apenrots' naar de terracotta ornamentiek.
waarin gehurkte aapjes zijn verwerkt.
