I’ve walked past Tøyenbekken on my way to work for four years, gradually falling in love with it. It’s a building that feels like a window into the past.

The second floor came later, with what they quaintly call “infilled half-timbering”…whatever that really means.

Kværner arrived with grand plans: a hall and a seven-storey office block. The hall was built in 1939, but the office building never materialized—leaving the Timber House as the expedition office.

Kværner remained until 1978, after which the property changed hands. In the 1980s, it briefly hosted a hardware store—a rather practical detour from the arts—before becoming home to Gallery 1857, a true highlight.
