1921

 

The below pictures originated from the 1921 photo shoot made in honour of Klaas Pieter Plantinga's 75th birthday. These were kindly provided by Gerrit Herman Plantinga (b. 1929, great-grandson of Klaas Plantinga).
The first, second, third and fifth picture are from the Dijkstraat 7 address; the others might be from Dijkstraat 7, Grootzand 6 or 't Laag 42-44.

 

1: The interior of the shop. The barrels built into the wall were part of the pre-1870 inventory and were explicitly mentioned in the sales agreement.

 

2: The office behind the shop. You can see the wall of the first picture on the right, through the glass.
