Verweyhal

The building is in the Eclectic style that was very popular at the end of the 19th century in Haarlem, but later fell out of fashion.

As the increased contribution did not solve the problem, the ground floor was rented out as a shop.

This income did not help either, and in 1922 the gentlemen were forced to sell the building to the city, which became the new owner for 125,000 guilders, and they moved to their current premises further down the Grote Houtstraat at number 115.

Fourteen years later, in 1992, the building was renovated again as a future exhibition hall to house the collection of the Haarlem artist Kees Verwey.

With support from his newly formed Kees Verwey Foundation, the first floor received a new name: the Verweyhal.

Verwey hall from the Grote Houtstraat looking north. The street level is in use by shops and a restaurant, and the upper levels are accessible from the entrance near the Vleeshal . Along the top of the facade are the words "Modern Art" and the names of Haarlem artists Israëls , Kruyder , Sluyters , Van Looy , Andriessen , De Kat and Gestel .
