Neighborhood Guide
The quiet Van Eeghenstraat is located in the Cornelis Schuyt neighborhood and borders the beautiful Vondelpark. This is the green heart of the city, where everyone comes together, and differences in status or background fade away. The sun-drenched terrace of the Renaissance-style Vondelpark Pavilion, now Vondelpark 3, remains a lovely spot for a drink or dinner. This neighborhood is perfect for anyone who loves well-built, spacious homes close to the city. The Museum Quarter is recognizable by the style of architect Cuypers, who designed not only the first homes but also the Rijksmuseum in a Neo-Gothic style. This period is beautifully depicted in Public Works by Thomas Rosenboom. Along with the Concertgebouw in Neo-Renaissance style, this building defines the character of the neighborhood.
With the addition of the Van Gogh Museum, contemporary architecture by Gerrit Rietveld also made its way to Museumplein. The variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops is as eclectic as the architectural styles and perfectly suits the international allure of the neighborhood. Haute couture lovers and shoppers can visit the P.C. Hooftstraat, home to fashion houses like Burberry, Ba&sh, and Isabel Marant Étoile. The great thing about this neighborhood is that the city center, De Pijp, and Amsterdam South – with the Vondelpark – are all within walking distance.

Architecture
H.H. Baanders was a prominent architect in Amsterdam around the turn of the century. He was born in Zutphen, where he trained as a carpenter. After moving to Amsterdam in 1871, he established a carpentry workshop and studied architecture in the evenings at the Industrieschool van de Maatschappij voor den Werkenden Stand. He then worked for several years for other architects. His independent career began around 1890. Baanders primarily designed residential buildings and some office buildings, often in an eclectic, historicizing architectural style. His most famous work is likely the Astoria building, the office of a life insurance company located at the corner of Keizersgracht and Leliegracht, which he designed together with Gerrit van Arkel.
The three buildings at Van Eeghenstraat were also constructed in the eclectic architectural style. Eclecticism involves the free combination within a single work of elements from different historical styles or movements. In architectural history, the term is particularly used for the direction that opposes 19th-century historicism, which prioritizes the imitation of a historical style. An eclectic structure incorporates loosely interpreted features from various neo-styles, combined to form a new ahistorical whole. He died after falling into the water of the Ruysdaelkade in the dark, on an evening in March 1905. He had been living and working on that quay since 1904, at number 27. In 1992 foundation repairs were carried out. In 2011, the apartment was completely renovated at the request of the current owner.
