Boerderij van het voerdeeltype. Dat betekent een smalle deel met één brede enkele deur in het midden van de achtergevel. Rijksmonument sinds 2003. Gebouwd in 1889 als melkveebedrijf in opdracht van Adrianus Petrus Bon en Maria Post. Het complex bestaat uit een T-boerderij met een aangebouwd zomerhuis (rechts).

to the digital card box with the big and small stories we collected about the Antoniushoeve in Duivendrecht, the Netherlands, a 19th century farmhouse, which almost fell victim to modernisation in the 20th century and is now alive and kicking again thanks to the inhabitants of Duivendrecht. This site is based on the original wooden card index that can be found at locations in and around Duivendrecht. We documented three episodes in the existence of the Antoniushoeve:

One. On November 7th, 1888, Johannes Bon buys a dilapidated farmhouse for his son Adrianus, who wants to get married. On June 4th, 1889, Adrianus Bon and Maria Post lay the foundation stone for a new farmhouse, Ons Genoegen. In 1909, the couple Ferdinand Van Schaick and Hendrika Bon take over the dairy farm. They give the farm the name Antoniushoeve. Ferdinand dies in 1918, Hendrika remarries Gijsbertus van Schaik, in 1920. Together they raise twelve children. Unmarried son Ferdinand van Schaick lives alone on the farm for seventeen years and dies on July 18th, 2010, aged 91.

Two. The Oud-Duivendrecht Foundation fights for five years against the eviction of ‘Farmer Ferd’ and the demolition of the farm. The 23rd of August, 2003 the Antoniushoeve receives national monument status. The municipality of Ouder-Amstel put the farm up for sale.
