Tiondeladan

Architect: 1973 Reconstruction & Modernization Ahlgren-Olsson-Silow

Bruno Ambrosiani became the sole lessee in 1881, but may have bought this lodge around 1880, from the pastor of Spånga Parish. It was mentioned in Spånga parish records in 1873. Bruno's tobacco cultivation required a large workforce, and he needed a peasant's cottage. Women, children, the unemployed "or other useless labor" worked on the tobacco plantations. Tiondeladan's premises are 104 square meters and are rented by Karolinska Institutet for representation and temporary offices.

In 1873 on July 5
Lodge with two golf. According to what was collected from the instrument of financial survey, made on August 17, 1871 at the residence, the lodge had been sold several years ago as a rude to the pastor against conditions, among other things, that the congregation was freed from maintenance and repair obligations. Because of this, no inspection of the lodge was requested.

The lodge perhaps stood on posts one and a half meters above the ground and had upper and lower sill frames. The lodge was timbered up in 1881 on new cornerstones and with a new sill. The house was decorated, got windows and doors and paneled. The north gable got pointed arched skylights, similar to Sasse's skylights on the west gable of the main building (Gammelgården). Perhaps the extension was also built when the house was timbered. The earliest available documentation from the extension is Folke Hoving's pictures from the 10th century. In 1972, a rebuilding and refurbishment was carried out with blockages, some facade changes, etc. Re-paneling of Tiondeladan was carried out in 1974. The house got connected windows.

On the side of one of the gables there is a very beautiful chestnut tree which now needs to be supported to continue to characterize the beautiful environment of the farm and plot. The farm's axial garden ran to the road in the south, which corresponds to Karolinska Institutet's main entrance from the south today. From Ki's entrance, the soft campus landscape takes over, to the north there are tall trees, and Tiondelada and Gammelgård, like houses on the hillside. The lawns are manicured and filled with bellis and herbs, and on an early summer day at lunchtime in the middle of the week, the institute's officials are sitting on the grass eating lunch.

In 1947, Tiondeladan's exteriors were declared a building monument, along with the designated area around the building. In 1994 there are proposals for protection regulations with an extended protection regarding the building's interior.

Tiondeladan, like Gammelgården, is a well-preserved cultural treasure, beautifully situated, and many will greatly enjoy the quiet oasis that the Quarry represents within our otherwise modern campus.
