Vanaf 1938 was hier de joodse HBS gevestigd. Aan de overzijde werd in september 1941 het Joods Lyceum ondergebracht, voor leerlingen die door de bezetter van openbare scholen waren gestuurd. Door de deportaties werden de klassen steeds leger. Beide scholen zijn in 1943 opgeheven. Na de oorlog is de joodse HBS heropend, vanaf 1959 bekend als het Joods Lyceum Maimonides. Het verhuisde in 1972 naar Buitenveldert.

The Jewish HBS (Secondary Modern School) was established here as of 1938. The Jewish Lyceum was established across the street in September of 1941, intended for pupils that had been banned from the public schools by the occupier. The classrooms emptied out as a result of the deportations. Both schools were closed in 1943. The Jewish HBS re-opened after the war, known as the Joods Lyceum Maimonides as from 1959. It moved to Buitenveldert in 1972.
