Façades of The Hague #116

Building with shop and apartments, Wagenstraat.

Built around 1900.

Originally it was crowned with a graceful gable, which has been replaced by the present less than inspiring top floor.

Although not quite clear, there may have been a tin foundry in the building until 1904.

From 1904 onwards there was a bacon butchery.

Around WOII it contained a bar, with, by the end of the war, a dubious clientele.

After the War it housed amongst others Chinese restaurants.

Later on there was Jazz Center, the place for jazz records, which later shifted to another address in Wagenstraat.
