As promised a few days ago, here are a collage of photos from Stenliden. A property that was built back in the 1920ths close to the Hammar Estate in Tungelsta. Over the years it has served as a school. And as a library. And in the 1950ths, the nurse Barbro Edhem lived and worked here. I'd never been inside the building until a couple of days ago when I noticed that the demolition team was ready to tear the place down. The last people that lived here was a local historian and a young family. The photo to the left shows the stairs up to the apartment on the second floor where the nurse lived sixty years ago. Top right is an abandoned piano on the inner room at the first floor. Middle right is from the nursery room on the second floor where the young family lived up until sometime last year. Bottom right is a view from the kitchen on the first floor. Some of the cabinets had been left on the walls. There was a few more items left here and there and I have a few more photos in my Stenliden set at flickr. The reason for the demolition is a new bridge that will be constructed here as the area will undergo some serious changes in the near future. A new railway track will be built between Västerhaninge and Tungelsta which means that a few old X-ings will be moved and a couple of new road will be built.

It makes me sad to think this house is already gone.
some interesting stories you tell about houses. the ghost house is sort of creepy to think someone lived in that house. I really liked you Old Winter Tree, as well as the bird shots, and the red, white and blue shot. some very nice photos. i enjoyed stopping by.
