The buildings on the Market 12 and 13 together with the underground building Koster Gijzensteeg 6a form a monumental complex in the Dutch city of Gouda. Description The corresponding building at the rear (Koster Gijzensteeg 6a)

The front-facing complex on the Gouda Market is made up of three buildings. The main building on the Market 12 has a plastered facade, first floor arc windows and consoles under a crown list. The adjacent building on the northeast side, Market 13, also has a plastered facade. At the back of both buildings is the property of the monumental complex Koster Gijzensteeg 6a.

In the 19th century, the manufacturer Busch settled in this place. A few generations of this family ran a manufacturing company, a trade in fabrics. At the back of these buildings they set up a warehouse. On a photograph of the photographer Jacobus Hendricus de Louw in May 1881, both buildings are still displayed separately and the building on Market 13 is still undeveloped. However, the word "MANUFACTURES" was already on the property at the Market 12, under the crown list, under the crown list throughout the property. Around 1900, the adjacent Market 13 was converted into a shop by the architect Ghent's Dessing. Until that time, this property was one of the few complete houses on the market, in most of the premises there were shops on the ground floor. His son Jacobus Peter would grow both premises at the Market around 1920. The underpins of both buildings were then contracted. Anno 2011 there are two separate stores, a hairdresser and a women's fashion shop.

The entire complex is recognized as a national monument. 52° 0′ 41″ NB, 4° 42′ 40″ OL
