At the top of our building are two small rooms where a family with two children lived around the year 1900.
The Pihlqvist family used these rooms as their home and walked up and down the stairs every day.
One room has a tiled stove with a built-in brick oven and two cooking plates. Due to limited space and money, the family lived in a single room. It served as their living room, kitchen, and bedroom all at once.
The Pihlqvist family was fortunate to rent rooms in Södra stadshuset. Although the family lived in very cramped conditions, many people in Stockholm lived in even smaller and poorer homes.
