Manufacturer's Porch

The house was built in 1795. In the middle of the 1800s the manufacturer Anders Jönsson lived in the house. He bought yarn and gave to home weavers who then delivered fabrics to him. He sold on to salesmen and eventually he became the sole owner of the textile factory Borås Wäfveri AB.

In 1950 the house was moved to the open-air museum Ramnaparken in Borås city.

 

The red house is typical for Sweden. The traditional red paint contains pigment from the copper-mine in Falun, Dalecarlia.
