The Chamber of Commerce House at Trädgårdsgatan, Stockholm
The Handelskammarhuset at Trädgårdsgatan was the premises for the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce , which during the years 1927-2012, for 85 years, was located at Västra Trädgårdsgatan 9 in Norrmalm .
In 1927, the Chamber of Commerce was to host a major international trade conference. Bank director Knut Agathon Wallenberg, who was the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, believed that the Chamber of Commerce should have a state house. All the major chambers of commerce on the continent had stately buildings. Knut Wallenberg therefore bought the former 17th-century palace at Västra Trädgårdsgatan 9 from Försäkrings AB Brand-Victoria.
Before Wallenberg bought the house, which was built in 1648, the house had been owned by Professor Laurentius Stigzelius and Doctor Urban Hjärne 1668-1730, the Cederström family 1730-1778, the doctor Henrik Gahn the Elder 1778-1816, the Gahn heirs, the industrialist Henrik Gahn the Youngerand member of parliament Henric Gahn 1816-1848 and the Tamm family 1848-1878. Then the house was called Tammska huset . During the years 1878-1927, several changes of ownership and renovations took place. The house got its current exterior in a rebuild in 1905, for the wholesaler Waldemar Wallin, which was carried out by the architects David Lundegårdh and CA Danilelsson .
