1. Eetcafé Lotgenoten / “Companions” Café Marker
Al voor 1730 was hier een wijntapperij annex kolfbaan. Het etablissement heeft de volgende benamingen gehad: 'De Katuil' - 'Van 't Klooster' - 'Van Es' - 'Wiegmans' - 'De Witte Griffioen', alias café 'Rinaldo' - 'De Jonge Prins' en nu 'Lotgenoten'.
Voorheen was er rechts een stalling voor paarden van bezoekers en kerkgangers. Tot 1944 vergaderde het polderbestuur van de Groot Duivendrechtse Polder hier regelmatig. Eeuwenlang waren deze tapperij en het inmiddels verdwenen café 'Zomerlust', nabij de Weespertrekvaart, de enige horecagelegenheden in Duivendrecht.
