FROM THE COLLECTION OF JOHANNES KUIPERS -1-

The house on the left above was built on the ground where
the old school once stood.
It received an addition after the last part
of the old school was removed.
It was then stuccoed in white.

The white house used to belong the "Ladies Andela".

Sometimes "Kooiker" dogs were also used.

By the end of World War II these dogs were nearly extinct.
Only sixteen were left.
The breed has been revived through the efforts of a baroness.
