The station building. The station building in Amsterdam was built in 1889 and at first it was used as station for transportations of goods. It was projected by a well-known at those times architect Kaupers, who also planned the building of the Rijksmuseum. The foundation consists of 8 687 wooden posts, because the building is located in a very damp place.
