*Kerkstraat:
On the Kerkstraat were the coach houses and stables of the canal houses. The canal house and the coach house often belonged together cadastrically. Today, 45 former coach houses still stand on the Kerkstraat.
Some coach houses were richly decorated, such as the coach house of Keizersgracht 524 on Kerkstraat 61. This coach house has an ornamental facade on the garden side with statues of Ceres and Heracles. A painting of this facade by Hendrik Keun belongs to the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
At the junction with Vijzelstraat, the “Vijzelflat” or “Amstelstein” arose in the years 1926-'28 to the design of the Amsterdam School architect J.M van der Mey. This flat was built over the Kerkstraat, where a sort of gateway was created. In 1955 part of this building collapsed, after which it was demolished in 1962 to make way for a building of the Algemene Bank Nederland. This bank building, designed by Marius Duintjer and built in 1969-'73, again with a gate across Kerkstraat, was later called the Vijzelbank. (source: Wikipedia)
