Neptune and Electra

Entrance to the electrical room of the 1913-1928 Amsterdam Scheepvaarthuis (Shipping House).

 

The Shipping House is one of the top 100 Dutch heritage sites and generally regarded as the first true example of the Amsterdam School, a style characterised by "expressive dynamism, lavish ornamentation and colourful embellishments". Originally, it was the headquarters of six leading Amsterdam shipping companies. It is now in use as a hotel.
