Architect Hendrik Berlage (21 February 1856 – 12 August 1934) designed this building for the insurance company De Nederlanden van 1845. In 1895 it was Berlage's first building in The Hague. In 1902 and 1909 the building was altered and raised. The facing bricks refer to countries and cities with which business was done. The sculptures depict the setbacks that a person can insure against. denhaag.wiki/index.php/nl/cultuur/monumenten/134-de-nederlanden-van-1845

There are nice details around the front door. The stone casing has a horse head and a bull head. Strangely enough, the coat of arms of Zutphen has been applied to the right, because the company was founded there by Carel Henny. There is also an owl and a bat...
