He built a large country house just outside Hoevelaken in 1928 to house his significant art collection. He is also perhaps best known for donating the Huis met de Kolommen, at 502 Herengracht, to the city of Amsterdam on the understanding that it would be the official residence of the Mayor. The first occupant in this capacity, Mayor Willem de Vlugt, moved in on 19 July 1927 and the building still serves as the official residence of the Mayor of Amsterdam.
