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

This residential block in Amsterdam showcases the Amsterdam School architectural style, a movement known for its expressive brickwork and sculptural forms. The building's name references its innovative kitchen placement—positioned at the front of each unit rather than at the rear, a notable modern convenience for the era. The structure features a distinctive wooden gable on its side elevation. Located on Wijdenesserstraat, the block is designated a Rijksmonument, recognizing its cultural and historical significance to Dutch architectural heritage.
