Beurs van Zocher, 1845 Exchange building in Dam Square, Netherlands

The Beurs van Zocher featured a neoclassical design with massive Ionic columns and a rectangular layout at the northern side of Dam Square.

The exchange opened on September 10, 1845, replacing the deteriorated Beurs van Hendrick de Keyser and operated until its demolition in 1903.

This second Merchants Exchange of Amsterdam represented the city's economic recovery period through its Greek temple-inspired architectural design.

The building contained an open trading floor surrounded by galleries supported by thirty columns, later covered in 1848 to address weather concerns.

Local traders referred to the structure as 'the mausoleum' due to its strict architectural style and limited reception spaces.
