There he became the architect in charge of building the St. John's Cathedral. The construction of the cathedral was then in full force.

As a reward for his service, Heyns was admitted to the Illustrious Brotherhood as a sworn-in brother. Only persons from the highest levels of society or persons that distinguished themselves were allowed to be sworn into the brotherhood. Heyns' membership of the brotherhood meant that he belonged to the laity - though in the lowest ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Berend Tobia Boeyinga

Cuypers gave the architects working in his office considerable autonomy and Boeyinga, Johan van der Mey, Piet Kramer and Michel de Klerk, all of whom were more experimental than Cuypers himself, established the principle of what would later become known as the Amsterdam School, while working there. Boeyinga then went on to work for Charles Estourgie and, from 1917 to 1921, for Michel de Klerk. During this period Boeyinga oversaw the construction of De Klerk's famous housing complexes at the Spaarndammerplant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Herman Hendrik Baanders
Herman Hendrik Baanders (22 August 1849, in Zutphen – 31 March 1905, in Amsterdam), also known as Hermanus Hendrikus Baanders and H.H. Baanders, was a Dutch architect who was primarily active in Amsterdam. Like many other architects around the ''fin de siècle'', Baanders had an eclectic and historicizing style of architecture. For instance, he would use a traditional Dutch facade such as a neck-gable, but combine it with Jugendstil elements that were considered very new and modern at that time. Despite these Jugendstil elements, his work was grounded in the Neo-Renaissance of the 19th century, characterized by a high level of detail."Amsterdam_1900:_H.H._Baanders_(1849-1905),_H.A.J._Baanders_(1876-1953),_Jan_Baanders_Sr._(1884-1966)",_Vereniging_Vrienden_van_de_Amsterdamse_Binnenstad(Dutch) His_most_prestigious_design_was_the_Astoria,_Amsterdam.html" ;"title="Jan Baanders Sr. (1884-1966)", Vereniging Vrienden van de Amsterdamse Binnenstad">Jan Baanders Sr.">"Amsterdam 1900: ...
