Part of the Amrâth Hotel, which is located on the Prins Hendrikkade, on a short walk from the Central Station.
The building represents an architectural tendency from the early 20th century called the 'Amsterdamse School'. Characteristic for the Amsterdamse School is the use of bricks as the principal construction material, and the decoration of façades with (again) bricks or natural stone.
Before this building was bought by a hotel keeper (in 2004), it was resident to several shipping companies, and later the local public transport company held office in it too.

We have included your blog in our guide Around The World.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe guide is both a record of old blogs and a listing of new blogs. Although originally arising from the "City Daily Photo Blog" lists this is an independent publication. Inclusion here does not imply that a blog qualifies for nor is officially a CDPB. Our criteria are that photographs mainly from and related to a specific geographical location (not necessarily a "city" but usually more specific than a whole country or region) are posted at dated intervals (not necessarily daily) and archives are kept which are readily searchable by date.
Please keep us informed of any changes to your details.
