Coopersburg, Akkrum, Protected monument house in Akkrum, Netherlands.
The Coopersburg house stands at the coordinates 53.05139 latitude and 5.83111 longitude within the Boarnsterhim municipality of Friesland, featuring traditional Dutch architectural elements.
Folkert Kuipers, who later changed his name to F. Cooper after emigrating to America and becoming wealthy, established this residence for elderly care in 1901.
The structure represents early 20th-century Dutch architectural design principles and maintains its status as a nationally recognized heritage site through the Rijksmonument designation.
Visitors can find the Coopersburg house on Ljouwerterdyk street in Akkrum, where regular maintenance ensures the preservation of its original architectural features.
The building connects American success with Dutch philanthropy, as F. Cooper returned to his birthplace to create this establishment for the local elderly population.
