Description

One building that is often mentioned as Arvika's most beautiful is "L. P. Svenssonhuset" on Storgatan 26. It was built by Lars Petter Svensson and designed by architect Svante Dyhlén.

It is a stately four-storey building crowned by towers with onion domes and beautiful iron spires. The facades have relatively new iron balconies, recreated as the original ones. Around the turn of the century, the construction of such tall buildings with ornate plastered facades was a new phenomenon, especially in the square and the central shopping streets.

This corner building is a fine example of such stone house architecture. It must have been impressive when it was completed in 1901, in a town that had almost exclusively two-storey wooden buildings.
