Description

The neoclassical building was originally built for the Masonic Lodge “De Vergenoeging.” Freemason Thomas Fermin Chapman designed the structure, and it was formally inaugurated on July 1, 1869, with a grand celebration. At the time, Masonic symbols adorned the classical pediments above the entrance and the cornice. After a century of serving as a lodge, the building changed ownership several times and underwent various renovations. Unfortunately, the distinctive old shuttered windows were replaced with glass panes. In 2011, the historic building found a new purpose as the office of the Public Prosecutor.
