Visible from the street; the inside is private.

On Jekerstraat in Amsterdam, a school building erected in 1926–1927 exemplifies the Amsterdam School architectural style. Designed by the Dienst der Publieke Werken (the city's public works department), the structure at numbers 84–86 reflects the distinctive expressionist character that defined early twentieth-century Amsterdam architecture, with its attention to material texture and decorative brickwork. Now recognized as a municipal monument, the building remains an important example of institutional architecture from the interwar period.
