Einar Pálsson snikkari byggđi ţetta hús áriđ 1896. Á árunum 1900 til 1920 var Stefán Eiríksson „hinn oddhagi" međ teiknistofu og verkstćđi í kjallara hússins. Margir smiđir og listamenn lćrđu hjá honum og skipar húsiđ sér ţví sess í íslenskri myndlistarsögu. Á tímum Innréttinganna og fram til 1811 stóđ á lóđinni torfbćr sem kallađur var Skálinn og var svefnskáli starfsfólks.

Einar Pálsson, a carpenter, built this house in 1896. From 1900 to 1920, Stefán Eiríksson was "the knight", with a drawing desk and workshop in the basement of the house. Many builders and artists learned from him, and the house is therefore a part of Icelandic art history. During "Interior Time"(?) until 1811 this was a site of a turf farm, with "The Lodge", which was a worker's dormitory.
Erected 2012 by Reitir.
