Remise Tollensstraat, Historic tram depot in Amsterdam-West, Netherlands
Description
Remise Tollensstraat is a brick structure with a long traverse hall and multiple maintenance sections built in the early 1900s. The building displays characteristic architectural features of that era and retains evidence of its original function as a transportation depot in its industrial design.
History
The building was designed by Amsterdam's Public Works Department in 1901 and completed in 1902. It was the city's largest tramway facility at the time and represented a major development in urban transportation infrastructure.
Culture
The space now serves as a gathering place where cinema, library, and food venues exist side by side within the industrial shell. Visitors experience a blend of everyday cultural activities set against the backdrop of working-class transportation history.
Practical
The building sits between Kinkerstraat and Bellamyplein in western Amsterdam with the main entrance on Tollensstraat. Today the space functions as a public venue with cinema, library, and restaurants that are easily accessible for visitors.
Did you know?
From 1908 onwards the facility shared space between trams and buses, with both vehicle types having to maneuver in tight quarters. This unusual dual use meant vehicles had to reverse in and out, a practical solution to the site's spatial constraints of that era.
