The gas works at Värtahamnen in the the north east of Stockholm in the 1910s

Earlier I posted an illustration of this gas holder as I find the architecture gorgeous, I wanted to share a photo but I wanted it to be historical as I am used to posting in the historicalphoto community as well.

I finally found it in one source I often forget in favor of Digital Museum, Stockholmskällan.

The photographer of this photo is unknown, but it is owned by the Stockholm city archives, and licensed as CC-BY.


The photo itself shows the gas works in Värtahamnen in the 1910s.

Right front and center we have the beautiful gas holder I spoke about in my other post, designed by one of my favourite architectures, Ferdinand Boberg.

There is another brick gas holder in the same style, now that the gas work area is being redeveloped, one is converted into a hotel, the other is converted into a concert hall.
