The Witte Huis

Today its back to summer sun and I am in the centre of Rotterdam taking advantage of the warm afternoon

The Witte Huis (Dutch pronunciation: [???t? ???ys]) or White House is a building and National Heritage Site in Rotterdam, Netherlands, inspired by American office buildings and built in 1898 in the Art Nouveau style.[1] The building is 43 m (141 ft) tall, with 10 floors, and was the tallest in Europe at the time it was built.[1] It was also the first hoogbouw (literally: high-rise building) in Europe. The building is listed as a Rijksmonument.
