Dome

East facade entrance (facing the Boevé Villa next door) with attached semicircular turret and tiled low wall; A museum dedicated to the Dutch painter and sculptor Hendrik Chabot (1894-1949) in Rotterdam, housed in the former C. H. Kraaijeveld Villa. The white villa was designed in 1938 in the style of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit or Neues Bauen) by architects Gerrit Willem Baas, a former employee of Brinkman and Van der Vlugt, and Leonard Stokla, a former bureau chief of Kromhout. In 1976 a top floor extension was added by architect E. Groosman, and the villa used as office space. Rotterdam architects De Weger converted it to gallery space in 1993. The villa has been a rijksmonument (national heritage site) since 2000. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 6/24/2015)
