Manhem then and now

This property in Tungelsta is know as Manhem. The house was bought in 1937 by Otto Arrhenius, who was a gardener. Before that it was a farm here. My mother went to school with one of his daughters, Karen. My mother used to visit the house and she has told me that it was a peculiar house, with doors and rooms where you didn't expect them to be. Manhem has changed owners a few times over the years, and it also stood abandoned for some time. Then it was suddenly being renovated by a new owner who was planning to use it as a summer house. When the renovation was nearly finished, tragedy struck when a fire completely destroyed the house. I took the top photo some time after that fire. I took the second photo a couple of days ago. A new house resembling the old now stands on the same spot as the original house but at the moment no one lives here.
