Façades of The Hague #143

Façades of The Hague 1 Minute

Building with high recesses with steep stairs so characteristic of The Hague, Copernicuslaan corner Valkenboskade.

It was built in 1915 for middle class labourers and shops in a decorative style related to Art Nouveau. Originally, the recesses for the stairwells were crowned with stepped gables.

For the construction of the entire district, the border with the then independent municipality of Loosduinen was shifted to the southwest.
