Vroom & Dreesmann, Haarlem, Department store in Haarlem, Netherlands
The ten-story retail building features yellow brick walls with sandstone bands, stained glass windows, and a prominent glass-topped corner tower.
The structure, designed by architect Jan Kuyt following a 1927 competition, opened its doors in 1934 after modifications requested by the local beauty committee.
The building combines architectural elements from the Amsterdam School, Art Deco, and Nieuwe Zakelijkheid styles, reflecting the design movements of the 1930s.
The store premises include eight floors above ground, two basement levels, and multiple entrances from both Grote Houtstraat and Gierstraat.
The structure incorporates an 18th-century pharmacy, Van der Pigge, within its layout, preserving this historical establishment amid modern retail space.
