The building was built in 1595 and is of great historical value. Special features are the original store shutters in the front facade which are unique in Dordrecht. During the day the shutters could be opened for sale, at night they were folded down. The building has a plastered stepped gable and under the house there is an all brick vault. The In de Dolfyn property is known as a haunted house. Several postwar residents observed a phantom of an old woman. This would have to be Schoontje Braadbaart, a Jewish woman deported to Germany in the early 1940s. The old woman lived reclusively in the dark house on Voorstraat 8, in which her father had a store for many years. After the war, the building stood empty for a long time. It was nailed shut, yet neighbors sometimes thought they could see a shadow there. In the 1970s, the ghost was observed several times by the then resident. Stories appeared in the local newspaper and numerous curious people came to see the haunted house. According to the stories, Schoontje is still searching at night for the treasure she once hid in her house. The stories about Schoontje are described in detail in 'Beeh...! Groot Dordts Verhalenboek' by Ruben A. Koman.
