Statens fastighetsverk går vidare med utförsäljningar trots avrådan och kritik
Statens fastighetsverk vill sälja totalt 37 fastigheter, varav 19 är byggnadsminnen. Gamla Göta hovrätt står på försäljningslistan trots avrådan från Riksantikvarieämbetet. ”Varför är det så bråttom?”...

A long thread with Stockholm mid-century housing:
Here is Spångavägen 49, the “Lamellahus” Oliver Cox, Michael Ventris & Graeme Shankland rented in 1947.
