Villa Gondang

Villa Gondang in the Hague was built in 1913 for George Arnold (born Semarang 1847-1928), manager of the Gondang-Winangoen & Djethis, a sugar factory in Klaten, the Dutch East Indies. He came to the Hague with his family in 1913 and commissioned architect Samuel de Clerq for the construction. The name Gondang refers to the place where the first child in the Arnold family was born. From 1927 the villa was exploited  by the eponymous company Gondang as an apartment building for repatriates form the Dutch East Indies.
