OSG West-Friesland, Secondary school building in Hoorn, Netherlands.
The main building of OSG West-Friesland features limestone columns, pilasters connected by arches, and red brick walls under a slate-covered roof.
The structure was built between 1908 and 1910 to house the Rijks Hogere Burger School, replacing its former location at the Dutch East India Company chamber.
The Renaissance Revival architecture of the building represents early 20th-century Dutch educational institutional design with its symmetrical U-shaped floor plan.
The school maintains its original educational purpose and underwent expansion in 2017, including renovations to both the main building and the Bontekoegebouw.
During World War II, Principal J.D. Poll protected numerous students from forced labor while the building experienced multiple requisitions.
