Hi Elsie,

I've definitely seen Short Wall Anchor construction in Belgium, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Latvia,
the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, Norway, Poland, the Republic
of South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States
(mostly in photographs - I wish I had the budget to visit all these
places).

Less definitely, they may be seen in Austria, Canada (in a Huguenot
building), Ghana, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Surinam.  There may
also be buildings in Brazil, China (Formosa), Guinea, Iran, and Japan.
In other words, they can be found in areas which were colonised or
traded with by people from the Low Countries. So far I've really only
explored the WIC and VOC colonisation - I really should check out the
Belgian Congo!

I found that I knew a bit more about the Pottsdam houses: The terraced
houses of the Holländisches Viertel (Dutch Quarter), Potsdam, Germany
were built to the designs of Johann Bourmann the Elder (Büttner and
Meissner _Town Houses of Europe_, 1983, fig 198).

With best wishes to all,

Pat
