Housed in a building called De Bazel, after Dutch architect Karel de Bazel. It was built from 1919 to 1926 as the head office of the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij.

De Bazel died before the building was finished.

 

Since 2006 the building has been home to the city's public record office, designed by Claus and Kaan.

The style is called Brick Expressionism. I wonder why ?
