Retronaut... .interesting site.... with history of Amsterdam in retro-foto's

Today I ran across a site on the web called the Retronaut. It is a site that aims to make pictures of the situation in a city right now and compare it to earlier days. And it has a special section on (the ghosts of) Amsterdam. And the interesting thing is, this method of making pictures on exactly the same spot as many years earlier is something I quite like doing. I don't have that much readily available on financial history however.

Except for one sketch of the desgn of the main office of the Nederlandsch-Indische Handelsbank, built between 1910-1912 and designed by architects: van Rossum and Vuyk. In 1925 the building was expanded by the architect van Gendt.

The building in 1962 turned into the head-office of the Municipal Giro of Amsterdam....

which in turn became the Main Post Office in Amsterdam...

which closed in January 2011 this year and now has space to rent....
