Saved By Birdman

Earlier this year the municipality planned to demolish this fine old building, Klockargården in Västerhaninge. The building dates back to around 1860 and was used as a school for many years. I believe that my grandfather was a student here for a few years. My friend Birdman whom you have met here a few times, and who lives in an apartment on the second floor, was obviously very upset about that decision. So he decided to do whatever he could to save the building, (and his home). He called a few journalists and got in contact with the local historical association. And a few months later the politicians changed their mind and decided to spend three million SEK for the restoration of Klockargården. One of those politicians that helped save the building was Peter Olevik-Dunder, whom you have also met here on the blog. God Jul everyone.

A former school building

This was once the Church School in Västerhaninge. Built back in 1861. My grandfather Harald Fredrik Jansson was a student here for a few years in the beginning of the last century. Today you can buy locally made handicraft here. My buddy Birdman whom you have meet here on the blog a few times lives in an apartment on the second floor. Rumours have it that the municipality would like to demolish this old building. Not sure why.
