Time traveling

This is the Trade Centre in Rotterdam.

Groothandelsgebouw Rotterdam

It was one of the first post-WW2 buildings, completed in 1953, after the heavily and devastating bombings of 1940.

 

It was one of the first buildings, if not the first.., in which various companies could be located.

The Groothandelsgebouw today is still buzzing with activity.

 

When she was young, my mother worked in this modern building, which she was very proud of.

 

The Groothandelsgebouw has 5 entrances.

In one of the big entrances I'd see these elevator doors with the time above it.

 

Architects: Tijen and Maaskant.
