| | Almshouses, Haarlem |
 | | Farther along Lange Annastraat (No. 41) is the Hofje van Guurtje de Waal (1616, renovated 1783). |
 | | In the next street on the left, Barrevoetstraat, are the Wijnbergshofje (1662) and the Gasthuishofje or Hofje van Loo (No. 7), a picturesque group of almshouses built in 1489. |
 | | Unfortunately the widening of the street in 1885 involved the demolition of the houses on the street side, depriving these hofjes of their air of seclusion. |
