The House in Hoorn - A Later View


A later view of the house on the Appelhaven in Hoorn. The facade has been painted a rich cream color.

The note on the back of this photo reads
"Hoorn
Huis Appelhaven + hoek Appelsteeg
Winkel van Jolle de Vries"
[Hoorn/House Apple Harbor + corner Apple Alley/Store of Jolle de Vries]

Margarethe called her home
"Gredel's Ark"
because, in addition to her large family, she also welcomed into her home her husband's students and people who had nowhere else to go.
