Another filling station?

I hear you thinking, has he blipped another filling station? Why? And it's not even one of his best 'nightblips'! Well, this is no ordinary filling station! This is as of today a protected national monument. That's right. It was all over the news today: they picked 100 buildings as new national monuments because they represent an import period in architecture (1945-1958), which they call the rebuilding era (it was just after the war).

I'm no architect nor a historian, but apparently, this one is the lucky 100. As i was blipping, a couple walked by and the guy was telling the girl that he saw the station on the news. She didn't believe him. And then they spotted me with the tripod photographing it, leading to him winning the debate.

A larger pic is here, in case you want to doublecheck that the traffic light was actually just changing.

Update: There is some more info (in dutch) including an old picture and links to more over here.
