Stelling van Amsterdam - Eerstaanwezendschap Office

Between 1904 and 1920, the office of the First Command was located here. The Defence Line of Amsterdam fell under the control of three First Commands, each commanded by a major. They built, managed, and demolished war infrastructure within their respective areas. Service groups were overseen by a Chief of Staff (OVF), who sometimes worked independently from their own home.

The building was built in the first quarter of the 18th century and has been a municipal monument since 1970.
