Lilla Essingen

The initial complex was composed of a workshop and an office building, the latter still present at the edge of the newly built flats.

[3] The facilities built on Lilla Essingen kept growing, and when the main workshop was destroyed by fire in 1936, the renovation included much expansion.

Almost the entire complex dating from the late 1930s was built in the by then modern architecture composed of much red brick.

The Stockholm City Museum, however, had a special interest in the facilities on Lilla Essingen and required certain insight into the renovation of the area.

At this point, Electrolux decided to completely remove its operations on the island and the facilities were bought by the estate development company JM, with the intent to construct apartment blocks.
