Stationspostgebouw

The station post building was built in the years 1955 to 1959, commissioned by the PTT, to the design of architectural firm Kraaijvanger. This reconstruction building was specially built as a post processing building, was given 15 floors, was constructed of heavy concrete, with light glazed bricks on the outside.

The assignment which the Kraaijvangers received was in short: 'to work out the plans architecturally and to take charge of the construction'. The spatial ingredients that the PTT management asked for were summarized: a main building with two office wings on both sides, a covered postplatform on the railway side, a tunnel that connects rail and building and a platform for front and back of city post at the front.
