Volkshuis Bond Moyson, People's house and former cooperative store on Friday Market Square, Ghent, Belgium

Volkshuis Bond Moyson is a two-part complex on the Vrijdagmarkt in Ghent, designed by Ferdinand Dierkens. The left wing, Ons Huis, completed in 1902, has a blue-stone ground floor with three arched bays, white-stone upper levels with fluted Ionic columns, and a wrought-iron arch bearing a clock. The right wing, Bond Moyson, opened in 1899, has a blue-stone facade, a large glazed central section, and a slate dome with four œils-de-bœuf.

The cooperative Vooruit bought two inns on the Vrijdagmarkt in 1893, on the site of the Utenhovesteen demolished in 1839, and opened Grands Magasins there in 1894. After a fire in 1897, Edward Anseele had Ferdinand Dierkens design a two-part complex inspired by the Grands Magasins in Paris. The store wing opened in 1899 and Ons Huis in 1902.

The golden inscriptions and rooster symbol on the facade represent the worker's movement and its ideals. These symbols held deep meaning for the communities that gathered inside.

The complex stands at the north-west corner of the Vrijdagmarkt, facing the Jacques Van Artevelde statue. Ons Huis now houses the ABVV Oost-Vlaanderen and the regional offices of BBTK, ABVV Metaal and HORVAL, so the ground floor is a working trade-union building rather than a museum.

The rooster above the Bond Moyson entrance stands on a shield with the "three eights": eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure, eight hours of rest. Two legends call it a gift from Walloon workers to Ghent strikers; in fact it announces a new dawn of equality.
