The plaque commemorating the construction of Zonnestraal was mounted on the terrace of this bungalow. ‘DOEL-ZICHT: B. Bijvoet – J. Duiker 1925 – razed by fire 1938. Rebuilt 1940 by B. Bijvoet. Completed 1st May 1940 by the Van Zutphen-Greger family. Designated as a nurses’ residence for Zonnestraal. Occupied on 10th May 1940 during the German betrayal, and fitted out as an aviators’ barracks. Later, on 21st April 1945, detonated and completely destroyed in a criminal act. This dwelling, designed by B. Bijvoet and Prof. G.H.M. Holt, members of the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects, dates from the autumn of 1950.’ |
