In 1913, the land was purchased by the Factorij.[2] At midnight of December 17, 1920, the Schlieper building caught fire.[3] The damaged building was destroyed later to make way for a new building which will become the Netherlands Trading Society (Dutch Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij or NHM), also known as "Factorij".[4]

The architecture follows the philosophy of the Dutch Nieuwe Zakelijkheid, a branch of modern architecture close to Art Deco.[1][5][6]

The building was nationalized in 1960, becoming the property of the Department of Export-Import of the Bank Koperasi Tani & Nelayan (BKTN). This became the Bank Export Import Indonesia (or Bank Exim) on December 31, 1968 until the legal merge of Bank Exim, Bank Dagang Negara, Bank Bumi Daya, and Bank Pembangunan Indonesia to become Bank Mandiri in 1999.[1]
