Paleis voor Volksvlijt (Palace of Popular Diligence) standing proudly alongside the Amsterdam houses, circa 1890. 40 years before it burned down and was demolished.
PrivateEducation says its always amazing how these buildings made of glass granite and iron seem to burn down
DutchMitchell says An eternal shame! There used to be so much beauty. Now there is only ugliness. Edit: I am talking about the palace that used to be there and what is there now, not about architecture in general.
skynomads says Fun fact, the church with dome on the horizon is also lost. Demolished in the seventies, now there’s a hotel.
