National Archives Building

National Archives Building is located at Jalan Gajah Mada No. 111, West Jakarta. This large and glorious building with specific architectural design has become an outstanding building among the new buildings that stand along Jalan Gajah Mada. This old and antique building was built by Reinier de Klerk 1760. After several changes of owners, in around 1819 it was finally taken over by Leender Miero, a very rich. Then to avoid from destruction, this building was taken over by the Dutch Government in 1900 for a long period of time and used for office of the Department of Mining. In 1925 this building was used for an Archives Building by both the Netherlands-Indies Government and (later) by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia.
