Building 14

Mobilization supplies storeroom

Built in 1901, national monument

Past
The storeroom is one of the oldest surviving buildings. It was used to store mobilization supplies. Following the mobilization in 1939-1940, it became the Central Store. Here, clothing, shoes and household items were stored. A narrow-gauge railway ran the length of the building, to transport goods. The building has three floors, yet there are no stairs inside. Upper floors can be reached on foot via the external steps. Later on, a lift was installed in the building. Its striking features are the segmental arches above the window frames with their sliding windows, and the overhanging drip moulds (a later addition).

Present
The current occupant is Storeroom 14 B.V., a business centre that provides work space for entrepreneurs.
