Bank building at Södergatan 10

Södergatan 10 in Malmö, Sweden was built about 1904 as offices for the Sydsvenska Kreditaktiebolaget, a local bank. Designed by Swedish architect Gustaf Wickman, it is located in the Old City (Gamla Staden) just a few steps from Stortorget, the city’s oldest square. Still a bank building, it is now occupied by Handelsbanken. A photo of this building, around the time of its completion, appeared in the publication Sveriges handel och industri i ord och bild: Malmo, in 1904.

The building to the left, at Södergatan 8, is also notable. Built in 1898 to house Apoteket Lejonet, a leading pharmacy, it also housed other businesses owned by pharmacist John Tesch, who is depicted as the figure above the entrance to the passageway seen at the far left side of this photo.
