    The first town hall of Oegstgeest.
    In 1868 the municipality bought the building, a former "poor and orphanage", after which it was expanded in 1870.
    The front became a fire-fighting area (hence “Firespray Nᵒ1” on the facade) and the back was a messenger house.
    The top facade has a lifting beam for drying fire hoses. Above it hangs the fire bell. With this, the fire guests were summoned and decisions announced.


    In 1900 the building lost its function because of the new town hall in the Wilhelmina Park.
    Between 1988 and 1990 the national monument was completely restored.
