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.
