Attention stone - Former town hall Waspik

Former town hall Waspik (1850-1938)

At the head of the Kerkvaartse Haven stood the home of notary Pieter van der Meer in 1850. A for that time large house with a barn, yard and court, orchard and water for entertainment. After purchase of the villa in 1878 by Willem de Roon, firm owner of the "Hooi- en Stroperserij Vermeulen", the villa was completely renovated. The garden was also laid out, covering the entire area of the current park. In 1933 widow De Roon left Waspik and the house, after having served briefly as a store dwelling, was purchased by the municipality of Waspik and converted into a new town hall. After the municipal redivision in 1997, the building lost its administrative function and was renamed "Het Oude Raadhuis."
