EDITORS COMMENTS
Luttik Oudorp, or the House with the Shovels, is a stunning example of early 20th century Dutch architecture, showcased in this photograph. Located in the historic city of Alkmaar, Netherlands, this commercial building boasts a richly decorated stepped gable that captures the eye with its intricate design. The use of natural stone in the form of water frames, blocks, and strips adds to the building's grandeur and timeless appeal. The arched attic hatch, framed in a rectangular shape, sits proudly atop the gable, while the shuttered windows, each paired with sidelights, add character and charm. The shutters, adorned with intricate ornamental anchors, are a nod to the maritime history of Alkmaar. The storefronts, complete with shutters and awnings, invite passersby to explore the hidden treasures within. The decorative masonry of the parapet, with its intricate patterns and shapes, adds an extra layer of visual interest to the already captivating facade. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and craftsmanship. The House with the Shovels stands as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of Dutch architecture, a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day.
