The trading house on Härön at the site has been conducted at least since the 18th century when there was salting and cranberry here. The Michaels Koch trading house and sons in Uddevalla owned, among other things. Salter at the site. The first holder of the business on Härön was Torbernt Olsson, (1816-1855). He bought the residential building in the print hole of a widow during the last part of the 19th century and conducted an extensive movement as a salter, with shipping and as a trader. Torbernt Olsson died in a riding accident only 39 years old. The widow, Anna Christina Olsson "Old Mrs. Olsson", (1817 - 1902) continued the business operations. Vessels in her shipping movement shipped, among other things, oats to England. As a ballast for the return journey, soil was loaded in the ship. This soil was then unloaded behind the manor building and thus the name "The English Garden" arose, many times painted by Karl Nordström. Here, several different activities were conducted during the 19th and 1900s. The backbone was shipping on England and herring salter. Mrs. Olsson also ran a trading house and had a ship shop and grocery store. During the late 19th century, a bathhouse was also built for summer guests. From the end of the 19th century and during 25 summers, artist Karl Nordström and his wife Tecla rented this house by Mrs. Olsson, later the Lachonius family, see below. Nordström had relatives on Härön. His parents still lived in the home at Tjörn. Wife Olsson died childless in 1902 and the business was transferred to her niece's son, Alexis Lachonius, (1870 - 1935). and was taken over by his sons. At the site of the trading house on Härön there were several buildings for different operations and most are preserved today. However, the magazine and manor building were torn down to large parts of new owners and "rebuilt", which attracted great attention among cultural conservation bodies. Litt: Lundqvist, J.
