Architecture
This mansion, designed and constructed by contractor T. de Bruin, commands attention over four graceful stories, richly adorned both outside and within. Its distinctive bay window, pointed turret, vestibule, and imposing staircase contribute to the allure of the property. Built in the eclectic style, which emerged in the first half of the 19th century in Paris and was introduced to the Netherlands around 1850, it is renowned for blending elements from various historical styles into a harmonious whole.
Eclecticism is known for its combination of elements from different neostyles to create a new, timeless architectural expression. This property is a striking example of how eclectic features have been melded into a unique, non-historical character.
The first occupants of this house were merchant Wilco Pieter van Notten (1874 – 1952) and his wife Johanna der Kinderen (1881 – 1960), who welcomed their daughter here before moving to Zeist in 1903. While the source of Van Notten’s wealth remains unknown, it is documented that he served as a director of the Savings Bank of the City of Amsterdam and Westerveld Cemetery during his residence here.
Later, the house was occupied by banker Gideon Mari den Tex (1870 – 1916), his wife Anna Maria Boissevain (1872 – 1924), and their son. Den Tex, head director of the Surinaamsche Bank from 1903 to 1916, used this property as their home base before moving to Keizersgracht and later Naarden, where they spent their summers.
Between 1936 and 1954, this house was home to ophthalmologist H. ter Meulen and his family, before being converted into an office in 1955 and merged with number 101. For nearly two decades, it housed the trade association for the garment industry until the 1980s or 1990s when it returned to its original use as a residence.
