The riverside in Tromsø, 1930-1938
The photo shows a section of Nerstranda street, near the intersection with Fiskergata. On the right are the butcher Olaf Loe's slaughterhouse and barns. The small house on the far left was originally a church guest house, later converted into a private residence. The blacksmith Mortensen lived there until its demolition. The large building behind it housed Berntsen's paint shop, with Dahl's gas station behind that. Svendsen's shoe store is visible to the right of Berntsen's. Tromsø Cathedral's spire can be seen in the center. A sign on a building to the left reads: "E. Andersen. Carpenter. Coffins in stock."

Molde Church, 1887-1900
