Further Information

Since 2009, I have been publishing photos and a brief historical review of old houses in Akureyri. The website´s visitors and my friends have been encourage me to publish those writings on a book through the years but finally I decided to make it happen...or at least try.

I am not a professionist in anything regarding buildings, engineering, history e.t.c. I am just, what called in Icelandic "grúskari" with this interest of old houses in my town. The term Grúskari can be explained as a man who reads and thinks a lot about any given category.
