Blok met 8 keukenwoningen, zo genoemd vanwege destijds nieuwe plaatsing van keuken aan de voorzijde, aan de zijkant een houten topgevel, bouwstijl Amsterdamse School.

Located on Avenhornstraat in Amsterdam, this residential block exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style and is designated a Rijksmonument. The building comprises eight kitchen dwellings (keukenwoningen), a housing type notable for its innovative placement of the kitchen at the front of the unit—a progressive design feature for its era. A wooden gable adorns the side elevation, characteristic of the distinctive formal vocabulary that defined this early twentieth-century Dutch modernist movement.
