1914 | The Queen’s Office

The escutcheon (1724)In 1914 the Queen’s Office moved from its premises in the Binnenhof to the house at 3 Korte Vijverberg. But first, a number of repairs and alterations had to be made. A large tear in one of Dirk Dalens’s wall canvases was mended. And an archive room and toilets were built in the courtyard. Part of the archive was also relegated to the basement, which meant that some of the seventeenth-century vaulting had to make way for a more modern ceiling. Parquet flooring was put in on the ground floor.
