Building's History
Reykjavik Residence properties occupy historic buildings reflecting Reykjavik in the early to mid-1900s. The Artisan House at Lindargata 11, built in 1901, housed the King and Queen of Denmark in 1926. This building has been a carpentry workshop, book-binding company, sewing workshop, and apartments; one family resided there for 88 years. The Bókfell Bookbinding Company completed the building at Hverfisgata 78 in 1947; Bókfell bound the Saga of Icelanders, the first Icelandic Bible, and works by Halldór Laxness.
