Leidsekade
The street is located on the northeastern bank of the Singelgracht and is indicated on an old administration map of the municipality of Amsterdam as lying between the Huis van Bewaring (entrance Weteringschans) and the Nieuwe Passeerdersgracht. It received its name by council decision on 19 November 1879 and was named after the city of Leiden; here in the area was the Leidsepoort. In the eighties of the 19th century, a breakthrough was made between the Leidsegracht and the Singelgracht, which helped determine the appearance of the Leidsekade.

The Leidsekade was given consecutive house numbers, the other side on the Singelgracht became Nassaukade with its own numbers. It is striking that the house numbering starts at number 49, as if the municipality intended to extend the quay northwards, but nothing is known about this. The buildings were built here around 1887 and connect with the inlet to the Leidsegracht, where the Leidsekades overflow into the quays of the Leidsegracht. This also applies to the other side of the inlet, where the buildings rest on the old bastion.
