In the middle of a busy street in Amsterdam you can find this little wooden building with an interesting history. It dates from 1896 as a Police Station House with two heartheating coal stoves. During the vigilant works this Post was a pleasant interruption for the policemen.
From 1915 to 1984 the building was used as a public toilet. And now a catering service has taken over the building with the pompous name "City Palace".
Linking to "Our World Tuesday"
It's amazing that the little house has been kept and is now been reused again. Have a nice day Mariette.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh, I wish I'd seen that when we were in Amsterdam. It's wonderful. But we were just flying into Amsterdam one day and leaving on a cruise the next day...and we did that twice! I would have loved to see more of Amsterdam, especially this little police station!

Love that little building - we had a similar one in a town that I used to live in. It was for carriage drivers originally to take a break and brew themselves a hot drink and then it became a place used by the local taxi drivers .
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHopefully those pompous caterers live up to their claims Marianne 😀
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFor some strange reason, I am so glad it is no longer a public toilet. It deserves better than that.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, this is quite a charming little building with interesting history behind it.
