Stockholmsverken

Stockholmsverken
I was sitting on a bench at Rosenlundsgatan on Södermalm, close to the commuter station eating a sandwich, thinking that it might be fun to photograph this old brick building, known as Gjuteriet. A former cast iron factory. From 1909. Designed by Nilsson & Nyqvist. Built for a company called Luth & Roséns Elektriska Aktiebolag. It was one of several big industrial buildings in this area. They picked the location because of the railway station. Around 100 people worked there. So I gave it a go. I stood up against a wall. It took 27 photos! Shot with the 60mm lens. Using the Canon 77D. This area is totally transformed today. All the industries are gone. But some of the old buildings remain. Today you will find bars, restaurants and modern innovative companies inside.

It is a beautiful building. So many industries have disappeared.
