HISTORY The monumental building located at Valeriusstraat 193-197, Lomanstraat 40-46, and Hendrik Jacobszstraat 9-11 encompasses the former carriage house of the Amsterdamsche Rijtuig Maatschappij, along with two coachman's houses. The carriage house extended across the ground floor of the entire plot and provided space for the storage of horses and carriages. It also had a waiting room for the coachmen and a laundry room. The construction was commissioned by the Amsterdamsche Rijtuig Maatschappij (Carriage Company, removals and transport, and supply of luxury horses and traction) under director A.C.A. Perk. The architect was J.A. van Straaten (also the architect of, among others, De Bijenkorf). The design is executed in a style reminiscent of English country house architecture. The concrete works were carried out by the Amsterdam Factory of Cement Ironworks. Currently, the ground floor of this residential block houses a supermarket, ensuring freedom from downstairs neighbors.
