We’re staying at Hotel Mercier, built in 1892 by - and named after - Hélène Mercier, the social-liberal reformer who paved the way for the emancipation of women and the working class. This building, originally named ‘Ons Huis’ (Our House) was the first community center on the European continent. It also started the ‘Vereniging Ons Huis’ which would become an initiative for public housing. Many would follow. #hotelmercier #helenemercier #onshuis #verenigingonshuis #historicgrounds (at Hotel Mercier) https://www.instagram.com/p/CamqmPUs2zC/?utm_medium=tumblr
