Decorative hooks in Amsterdam.
Many of the homes in Amsterdam have hooks up top and lean forward. This is because the stairs are incredibly narrow and steep, but the windows tend to be big. If you want to get a sofa or a piano into an Amsterdam house, usually, the front window is the best way. The hooks are there for pulleys to get furniture and whatnot in and out of the houses.
