(Amstelveen municipality). This development originated at a stopping place on the west side of the Amstel. Various catering establishments owed their existence here mainly to the ferry connections to Amsterdam.
Catering industry. The restaurant 'Paardenburg' (Amstelzijde 55), a broad cross-section dated '1702', is already mentioned in 1693. Already mentioned in 1636 as an inn is 'De Oude Prins' (Amstelzijde 37), that around 1880 its current form as plastered got a cross-country property. An 18th-century origin has the deep catering establishments 'Theehuis Paardenburg' (Amstel side 47) and 'Piet van Raak' (Amstelzijde 53). The latter has a late-18th-century pivoted wooden façade with pediment and balcony (circa 1905). An 18th-century high and deep building flanked by one-layered 19th-century side wings is' 't Jagershuis' (Amstelzijde 2).
Schools. The form. Chr. primary school 'Eben Haëzer' (Amsteldijk-Noord 1a) was founded in 1877 and rebuilt around 1910. This complex with two parallel wings now serves as a studio. In 1909, according to the design by B. van der Bijl, the public primary school, Oostermeerweg 85, was set up with a home for teachers. Residential homes. Behind their facades from around 1860, the deep houses Amstelzijde 42 and 44 may have an older core. To the north of the village center are some 19th-century transverse houses with shield roofs, such as 'Nieuwer Amstel' (Amsteldijk-Noord 76, center possibly 18th-century) and Amsteldijk-Noord 78 (1882). The 'Schneider houses' (Amsteldijk-Noord 2-16, circa 1900) are single-layer workers' houses, named after client C.H. Schneider. Expressionist forms show the villa 'Bloemhof' (Amsteldijk-Noord 168; 1936) after a design by F. Jurrema. The traditionalist villa Amsteldijk-Noord 167 (circa 1936) was designed by J.H. Antonissen and F. Jurrema. Some of the farms in and near Overamstel have a cross front house, such as Amsteldijk-Zuid 91 (third quarter of the 17th century), Amstelzijde 45 (18th century) and 'Nooit Gedacht' (Amsteldijk-Noord 93, 18th century). Deep front houses have the basement 'Hoeve Sloterdijk' (Amsteldijk-Noord 165, center 17th century) and Amsteldijk-Noord 147 (18th century). The farms Amsteldijk-Zuid 81 and 122 (both circa 1890) are equipped with cut wind springs. A villa-like house has the farm 'Anna's Hoeve' (Amsteldijk-Noord 67; 1922).
