The Portalen at Bryggargatan 25

During this period, their daughter Olga-Marie had a friend named Natanael Karlsson. He made a drawing of the portal of their house on September 1 in 1907. Most likely he used it in his examination work.

The drawing was later given to Olga-Marie and it is still within the family. Today the daughter of Olga-Marie, Teres Larsson, is the owner of the drawing.

Take a look inside the portal!

In the month of August in 1924 the house was teared down.
By that time it was one of the few remaining houses in that area. The houses had been teared down one by one to make place for the railroad area in Stockholm.

In July 15 1924 there was an article written about the house in the newspaper "Stockhomstidningen".

The article has been saved in the Östman family album. To read the article in Swedish click on the article to the right.
