amsterdam housesIn the past, people were taxed on the width of the house, so they built narrow, high and deep houses. Since there was not a lot of room for the stairs, they also were narrow and very steep. This made it difficult to get merchandise up to the higher floors. That’s why the houses have the hoisting beam at the top of the façade, they were used to bring up the merchandise, and furniture to the top floors.#amsterdam_houses #visitamsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #amsterdamstreets #amsterdamtravel #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam #amsterdamstories #amsterdamview #iamyouramsterdamguide #amsterdamworld #iloveamsterdam #amsterdamvibe #visitthenetherlands |
