Description
There once was a house from 1780 here.. 128 years later they build a new one.. that is now 103 years old.. fun... Before 1780 there must have been a house created around 1612.
So this is the 3rd house on this spot. Fun... it saw so many changes... but it still stands at a nice canal...
This year my boat tours will (also) start in front of this building. It is now a restaurant (Spanish) ="Tapas y Restaurante"..
The sand you see on the left is where cityplanners had a little Skyscraper in mind.. They broke down some anno-1915 houses (not so beautiful anymore) but than the Crisis came and nobody wanted to pay for the Sky scraper.. so we have a little beach at the Canal.. grin

beautiful shot, the lack of people makes it even more difficult to tell if it is a wonderful render or wonderful shot, nice intrigue
Nice house with a changing history. There was obviously no tax on windows any more in 1908 ;-)
Great picture and story!!
Maybe one good thing of the crises! ;o)
Well, Enjoy the "beach" as long as you have it :))) At least one good thing out of the crisis...
Nice capture!
Great shot and history !
Very nice. I think it's interesting how in the US something is old if it's over 100 years and ancient if it's 2 or 3 hundred years old (on the East coast - in California, it's less than that). Yet, when I went to Germany in high school I stayed in a normal family home that was originally built in the 1600s. Then I came back to Germany, mostly staying in the South for a month (very mountainous), then decided to hop a train to the Netherlands, and when I first got out of the train station I panicked for a minute until I realized that my subconscious couldn't see anything holding the sky up (no mountains on the horizon where I was). :)
beautiful old building, happy to see the old gentlaman still standing!
Really nice!
It is nice to see buildings in such marvelous shape after such a long time Chris, and so happy to see your country taking pride in such a tradition.
Why do I like old houses better than skyscapers....? Very nice spot, very nice shot!
damn Chris, I didn't know you were 399 years old.... how do you do it??? LOL
Nice building..thanks for the info! :)
A lovely capture of this young old house.
Wonderful shot, Chris interesting history
I hope you get to keep the beach, so much nicer than a skyscraper. Great looking building and I love the history of the site. I wish you success with your boats now that you are on the beach that should work out well.
Very beautiful shot and extraordinary story!Bravo
Very nice capture!!
Interesting story - nice capture!
a tappas y restaurante "bon approveche"(castellano) or "bon profit" (valenciano)-eet smaakelijk lol.
Nicely done.
Great capture!
Informative! I don't think a skyscraper would have fit into the surroundings anyway. Better to have a beach!
