Garbo-husen

Garbo-husen, Historic residential building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

Garbo-husen at Blekingegatan 32 is a modern residential building standing on the site of the original 1905 structure. The facade and entrance area display memorial elements that mark the historical connection of this location.

The original building dated from the late 19th century and was demolished in the 1970s. Between 1978 and 1981 it was replaced by a new structure designed by Sune Malmquist, whose facades borrow forms from the 1920s. Greta Garbo lived in the old house for 19 years before leaving for the USA.

The name comes from Greta Garbo, who lived here for 19 years before leaving for the USA. The property owner BGB in Stockholm AB asked Garbo for permission to officially call the building "Garbohuset" but never received a reply. Five courtyard doors were planned to be named after her films.

The building stands at Blekingegatan 32, at the corner of Tjurbergsgatan on Södermalm. The Garbo bust is mounted on that corner, above street level, so look up to spot it. The courtyard entrances are not open to the public; the facade and bust are viewed from the street.

The five courtyard-facing doorways were planned to be named after Greta Garbo's films, though the property owner never received her permission to use the name "Garbohuset". A bust of Garbo stands on the corner facing Tjurbergsgatan; it was first placed in Helgalunden in 1999 on the initiative of Byalaget Tantofolket but removed by Stockholm's Beauty Council.
