the present building on number 17 is the design of the architect carl malmström. built in 1902 and inspired by the building on 10 skeppsbron (possibly by nicodemus tessin the younger), it featured shops on street level, flanked by pilasters topped by volutes, offices on the second floor behind the low rounded arches and the bar windows, with dwellings above and storage below. originally, the entrance was flanked by two minor doors facing the street (the door still is still there), and was slightly more elaborated. the green colour of the building would have pleased neither of the two architects, but obviously was to the taste of today's catering business, judging from the restaurant residing there - "pontus in the green house".
