Nils August Andresen Butenschøn

He was born in Kristiania (now Oslo, Norway)[1] as the only son[2] of banker Nicolay August Andresen (1812–1894) and Nilsine Augusta Butenschøn (1818–1842).

They died in 1894 and 1896 respectively, but from 1892 Butenschøn was a partner with his cousins Carl Christian and Engelhart Jr (the latter left in 1902).

[2] Butenschøn spent his career as a chief executive in Andresens Bank, and also served as a consul general.

[1] Dating to the 1860s, his father had been the owner and developer of Skøyen Manor (Sondre Skoyen) which he inherited.

This estate was located in the neighborhood of Skøyen and is today the site of Skøyenparken, a residential park in Oslo.
