It was not unusual to frame and hang a plan or partial view of a building after its completion, in this case the King Willem I Barracks, named after William I (1772-1843).
“The plan design included two main gates in the southern section, which necessitated a double guardhouse. If the northern section of the barracks were located on the other side of Vlijmensweg Had the plan been carried out according to plan, a third watch, also assigned to night duty, would have been the result. The barracks were tailored and "custom-made" for the motor artillery and its accompanying transport company. This resulted in three barracks of unequal size, a complete departure from practice elsewhere. Also unusual, two of these buildings were three stories high, not including attics.
Incidentally, civilian architect P. van Vught was responsible for the design. Van Vught received support (presumably in the design of the barracks) from the architect and structural engineer Professor N. Lansdorp. The barracks were built in 1939, which also corresponds to the lithograph. The architectural style is related to the Delft School.
It is quite unique that a construction drawing like this has come into private hands.
The item will be carefully packaged upon shipment to prevent damage. I ship in recycled and environmentally friendly boxes.
