Craftsman Gustav Andersson lived in a timber house on Södermalm. He worked for the navy, making wooden pulley blocks for ships. He also had a lathe in his home.
Between 1917 and 1923, the Andersson family lived on the cottage’s upper floor. Meanwhile, the back apartment was rented by Emilia Gustavsson, a widow with five children.
This historic home shows how ordinary working-class families lived in early 20th-century Stockholm.
