De Kindertuin
1905 / M.A. Poel

Dudokpark 10

Villa De Kindertuin was built in 1905 by order of L.Th. Tetrode. Although the building had the appearance of an Art Nouveau villa, it also served as the Wilhelmina-Fröbel School, a kindergarten of Mrs. L.M.E. Tree for young children of wealthy parents. On the ground floor were two classrooms and a games room. The villa has two beautiful Jugendstil tile panels, one in the gable with a peacock and one at the entrance with the name of the villa.
