Hotel Mabes 1939


The 1939 photo is little different from the 1936 photo. This photo shows many olden days vehicles as well: cars, bus, bicycles and we meet the tricycle minibus again. Drugstore “MIM” changed name into “Malangsche Apotheek”. The trees that were too close to the intersection have been removed. And behind the hotel a transformator station just has been built. The shape of the hotel building looks like a steam ship and the style is “streamline moderne”. During the 1950s this building served as a YMCA hotel.
Now the building is demolished and a big and ugly BCA bank building took over its place.
