Located on Herestraat in Groningen, this bank building was designed by architect A.Th. van Elmpt and completed in 1928. An exemplar of late 1920s modernism, it combines Art Deco and Expressionist architectural vocabularies—styles that were reshaping European urban facades during the interwar period. The building's design reflects the era's enthusiasm for geometric forms and dramatic massing, qualities characteristic of both movements. Designated a Rijksmonument, it stands as a notable example of early twentieth-century financial architecture in the Netherlands.
