De Utrecht, Art Nouveau office building in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The five-story building features stone sculptures by Henri Scholtz and Jan Diekmann decorating its main facade along Leidseweg street.
Insurance company Utrecht commissioned architect Jan Verheul to design their headquarters, which opened its doors in 1902 at Leidseweg 2-5.
The interior contained paintings by Co Breman and included furniture designed by Verheul, manufactured by Arts & Crafts workshop in The Hague.
The building stood between Utrecht Central Station and the city center until 1974, when it was demolished for the Hoog Catharijne shopping center.
Original sculptures from the building, including an insurance angel and two dragons, were preserved and moved to the Music Center Vredenburg.
