Country house (with mention of Bloemenhof on the facade plate at the parapet) from around 1901 in neo-traditional style with cottage elements designed by C. Janssens and built by order of Lots (building permit of 28 June 1901). Architect Huib Hoste once lived in this mansion. Joris Sawmill Ludovic Joris set up a sawmill on the Boechoutsesteenweg in 1905. The company, which employed five people, soon processed four to five trees per day. These trees were initially brought in from Wallonia by tractor or, when trees in the area were eligible for processing, dragged to the sawmill by six Brabant horses. Emile Joris, Ludovic's son and successor, decided to do things differently. He left for Congo, hoping to export exotic wood species. Emile was a man of his time and therefore tackled the export with vigour. He had a modern machine park and used airplanes to map the areas with good tree species. The heavy work was done by 350 Congolese workers who felled the trees and transported them by raft across the Congo River to Leopoldstad (Kinshasa). The wood arrived in Antwerp by ship, after which it was delivered to the sawmill in Hove. The entire journey, from the rainforest to Boechoutsesteenweg, took a total of about six weeks. This company disappeared in the early 1990s. A new residential complex, Hove Veld, was built on the grounds. Finds were made on the site that point to Keutegem, a village on the border of Hove and Boechout during the early Middle Ages.
