In the second half of the 19th century, Neo-Renaissance was the most popular architectural style, a period in which the Dutch Renaissance of the 16th century was reinterpreted. This style is characterized by horizontal stone bands between the brickwork and stepped gables that are barely distinguishable from the original Renaissance facades. The historical character was further enhanced by richer decoration, which also applied to shops that attracted the public's attention with their striking facades.
Between 1845 and 1885, the Hollandsche Gazfabriek (Dutch Gas Factory) stood on the site where Den Texstraat, Nicolaas Witsenstraat, and Pieter Pauwstraat are now located. This factory was founded by sugar manufacturer C. de Bruyn & Zonen to compete with the already established Imperial Gaz Company, the so-called 'English' gas factory. Sugar refiners, who were major consumers of gas, saw the prices of the English factory rise and decided to produce gas themselves.
From 1890 onwards, houses were built on this site, with the construction of two new streets: Den Texstraat, named after former mayor C.J.A. den Tex (1824-1882), and Nicolaas Witsenstraat, named after a former 17th-century mayor. The playground in the Weteringplantsoen was moved to its current location. In 2020, the area underwent a complete renovation, including the construction of new foundations.
