All these streets on the border of Schaarbeek and Sint-Joost were laid out in 1843 on the site of a former Brussels almshouse and received a fairly uniform neoclassical architecture. The left side of Poststraat is partially made up of garages, garden entrances, back doors, and servant quarters of the more upscale mansions along Koningsstraat.
House no. 11 has white and green faience tiles and bears the inscription ‘In den ouden Martiko’ with a depiction of a chimpanzee swinging from a tree branch. ‘Martiko’ is a variant of the Brabantian ‘metteko’, a derogatory term for a backward ape, simpleton.
