Constructed in 1894-95 in #Amsterdam (Noord-Holland) as a home and office for the Van Limmik Foundation, this Dutch neo-renaissance building was designed by C.B. Posthumus Meyjes. Built on a rectangular plan with red and dark brick over a stone plinth and basement, it features a ground floor, first floor, and steep hipped roof clad in red tiles. The 11-bay façade centers on a three-bay risaliet with an entrance, stoop, cross-windows, pilasters, a stone aedicula, and a plaque reading "VAN LIMMIK STICHTING." Flanked by lower four-bay wings, it's topped by an ornate gable with pediment and vases. Side and rear elevations mirror the design with varied windows and dormers.
