and servants' quarters.

In 1893, the farm was converted into barracks for the 2nd Akershus Brigade's non-commissioned officers. Later, the house was converted into offices. In 1992, an extensive restoration was completed. Beautiful stucco ceilings were revealed on the second floor. The exterior of the house has changed little since 1840.
