Stationsoverkapping S.S. te Tandjong Priok in aanbouw / spanning 40 Meter - lengte 200 Meter 1916 - 1924

This black and white photograph, taken between 1916 and 1924, captures the construction of the "Stationsoverkapping S.S. te Tandjong Priok," a train station roof spanning 40 meters and stretching 200 meters in length. The image showcases the intricate steel framework, a testament to the architectural ingenuity of the era. The unfinished structure, with its visible tracks and scattered building materials, offers a glimpse into the scale and complexity of the project. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a historical document of Dutch colonial infrastructure in Indonesia.
