(Wof 24qts 11.B2 AMSTERDAM (AP) -The Rembrandt House, one of Amsterdam's foremost tourist attractions, is settling through its foundations, and an all-out campaign is underway to raise funds for its restoration. The 1606 structure, built in the year of the great Dutch painter's birth, sits on soft, sandy ground along the edge of a street which urban renewal turned into a major thoroughfare a few years ago. The house was Rembrandt's home from 1639 to 1658. It was there he painted the famous "Nightwatch," there that his son Titus was born in 1641 and there that his wife Saskia died the following year. Precluded by Saskia's will from remarrying, Rembrandt took a mistress, Hendrickje Stoffels, who bore him a daughter, Cornelia, in 1654.

ACCORDING TO construction experts, the structure has subsided by a foot and traffic threatens to accelerate decay. New cracks are appearing on the facade with increasing regularity. Almost half the money needed for restoration estimated at 900,000 guilders, or about $345,000 is being provided by the national government's monument fund, the city of Amsterdam, the province of North Holland and the Rembrandt House DieHard KMC SAVE7!
