Concertgebouw...

...a concert hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands, literally translates to "concert building", considered one of the finest concert halls in the world!
Architect was: Adolf Leonard van Gendt, began construction in 1883 and opened April 11, 1888.

I just love this architectural drawing of the building (above drawing done in 1883).
