==History==
From 1250 to around 1350 the building served as the first city hall of Haarlem. After the current city hall was built across the square, various important families lived in the house. The lower part of the building was used as a printing shop, a general store and for storing beer. Though it had lost its official function, as a large and imposing building in medieval Haarlem, it continued to be used for council meetings whenever the Count of Holland was visiting. A plaque above the door states:
This text in old Dutch says that whenever the Count "planted his court here on the sand" (meaning when he stayed in the large "Gravenzaal" or Count's hall across the square), this honorable building was put to use as the courthouse. The humanist Dirck Volckertszoon Coornhert once ran a printshop from the basement in the 16th century. The baroque facade is newer and dates from circa 1650.
On May 17, 1755 the building was bought by the municipality to serve as headquarters for the civic guard ('). This is the reason for the building's current name.〔(Historic buildings ), Haarlem marketing, accessed April 2013〕 Each evening and morning the gates of the city would be unlocked by the militia who lived here.〔
