Molen 't Haantje is located to the left of Villa Casparus. A comparable building was located on the opposite side of the river on the Prins Bernhaardlaan. This was the office building of the Van Houten company at that time, behind which was the warehouse and production facility. The building was very dilapidated and was completely demolished. The cocoa beans were delivered via the river Smal Weesp. A resident of the street told me that objects from the 16th century are still being found there.
