The building
In the 19th century, a series of architectural styles from the past were reinterpreted in Amsterdam. The most popular architectural style in the second half of the 19th century was Neorenaissance, a period where the Dutch Renaissance from the 16th century was revisited. Characteristic of Neorenaissance are the horizontal layers of natural stone between the brickwork and the stepped gables, which are almost indistinguishable from those of the Renaissance period. The historical sentiment was further emphasized by even more lavish use of decorations. The same applied to shops, which aimed to stand out to attract public attention. The building on Alexanderstraat is very well-maintained; last year, the balcony floors were replaced, and at the rear thresholds, wood was replaced with natural stone. Additionally, the zinc work at the front and back has been renewed. The painting work has also been done in 2023, and the exterior of the building has been repainted (after thorough cleaning). In 2024, this apartment has been meticulously renovated with a new bathroom and kitchen installed, and the solid oak floor has been sanded and oiled again.
