De Wetering", as this building at the Church Square in Meppel is called, was built in 1921 as a transformer station, to transport electricity from the power station to the end users. Not what I would have expected at first sight, it must have had a thorough restoration.
Designed in Renaissance Revival style the building nowadays serves as a centre of the Dutch Reformed church. It is listed as a National Heritage building.
Um belo edifício gosto da sua arquitectura.

Dat het een transformater station is geweest zou je niet zeggen inderdaad. Mooi opgeknapt.
BeantwoordenVerwijderen...an interesting facade.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenQuite a stylish building...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think the sycamore trees add a lot.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe facade has a sort of electric feel to it. And now the Dutch Reformed got hold of it. Be very, very careful when you're close by. You could disappear in a cloud of smoke and end up in heaven or, well, you know where!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAn interesting building, I say!!

I like the look of the building!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenElectricity was the wonder of the age back then and buildings associated with these new technologies inspired some great architecture.
