Its aim was to \u2018<em>establish within the village of Aalten a building with the necessary grounds for use by social clubs, reading and agricultural meetings, dramatic, choral and musical societies, or other gatherings intended to promote social refinement through convivial association<\/em>\u2019. That same year a society building was erected on Het Blik, at the corner of Hofstraat and Herenstraat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides weddings and parties, the Society hosted all kinds of activities. Floralia, for example, held exhibitions there. Cuttings were distributed for people to grow into plants, after which an expert jury decided who had raised the finest specimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floralia was not the only regular guest at <em>the Soos<\/em>, as the Society was popularly known. Symphonia, a choral society, also used the building. Christmas celebrations of <a href=\"https:\/\/oldaalten.nl\/en\/place\/de-broekhof-christian-primary-school\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Broekhof School Aalten-Zuid<\/a> were well attended, and several shooting clubs were active at the Soos. One regular patron was Nico Berkelaar, a French teacher at the <a href=\"https:\/\/oldaalten.nl\/en\/place\/hbs-csa-schaersvoorde\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christian HBS<\/a>, who later taught at HAVO and VWO level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The managers of the Soos included Mr and Mrs Kunnen from 1906 to 1916. They were succeeded by G. Kempink. In later years Mr Walvoort managed the building. Its final owner was Theo Vultink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The building was demolished around 2002 to make way for an office building with flats above it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h2 id=\"h-address-history\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-address-directory-1934\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address Directory 1934<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hofstraat 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Society<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-address-directory-1967\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address Directory 1967<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hofstraat 13<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h2 id=\"owners\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Owners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This overview is incomplete.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Year<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Plot<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Owner<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1874<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">I-3201<br>I-3202<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Vereeniging tot<br>bevordering van gezellig verkeer<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">90 m\u00b2 house<br>140 m\u00b2 society building<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1899<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">I-4856<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Vereeniging tot<br>bevordering van gezellig verkeer<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2,950 m\u00b2 society building, house &amp; yard<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1934<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">I-6521<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Vereeniging tot<br>bevordering van gezellig verkeer<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2,900 m\u00b2 association building, house &amp; yard<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1961<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">I-8523<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Vereeniging tot<br>bevordering van gezellig verkeer<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2,760 m\u00b2 society building, house, garden<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1971<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">I-9957<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Vereeniging tot<br>bevordering van gezellig verkeer<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2,700 m\u00b2 society building, house, garden<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1987<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">I-9957<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Th.
