FORMER PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL/FIRE STATION

This building was constructed in 1842 as a public primary school, designed by architect Henri Koenen. The headmaster was Martinus Coolen. When Catholic schools for boys and girls were established in 1920, the public school became too large for the small number of remaining pupils. Two classrooms were used to house the Kruisvereniging (Cross Association). In 1950, the public primary school was closed and the building was converted into a fire station. Until 1985, it housed the Nuenen Volunteer Fire Brigade.

                                  VOORMALIGE OPENBARE SCHOOL/BRANDWEERKAZERNE

Dit pand is gebouwd in 1842 als openbare lagere school onder architectuur van Henri Koenen. Schoolmeester is Martinus Coolen. Omdat in 1920 katholieke jongens- en meisjesscholen worden opgericht, is de openbare school te groot voor het geringe aantal resterende leerlingen. In twee lokalen wordt de Kruisvereniging ondergebracht. In 1950 is de openbare lagere school opgeheven en is het pand verbouwd tot brandweerkazerne. Tot 1985 is hier de Vrijwillige Brandweer Nuenen c.a. ondergebracht.
