These kind of houses were frequently found near railroad crossings. Mostly in the province of Noord-Brabant (southern Netherlands). Originally owned by the railroad company and meant for the signalman to live in. His job was to maintain his part of the railroad and keep the railroad crossing safe.
Some of these houses still exist, although the trains have disappeared. Nowadays the houses are sold to all kinds of people.
