Poortgebouw

The Poortgebouw is a national monument at Stieltjesstraat 38 in the Kop van Zuid area of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, a monumental four-story brick building with two wings and connecting floors spanning the road beneath, built beside the River Maas in 1879 to a design by architect J. S. C. van de Wall. After passing through a range of uses, the building was squatted on 3 October 1980 and legalized as a housing cooperative in 1982, and it now provides residential housing managed by the Vereniging Poortgebouw.
