In the 1870s, a wooden building was located at Underhaugsveien 15, donated by the Luther Foundation with the aim, among other things, "to become a meeting place for the Foundation's Bible teachings, and also to be a home for some students."(Submitted on June 30, 2025.)
There was only room for six students here, but the house became a meeting place. Peter Hζrem, the Luther Foundation's secretary, showed special concern for out-of-town students and wanted to expand. Sven Foyn was among those who supported it financially. The king and queen also showed interest. Hζrem bought the neighboring plot, and construction began in 1874. The main building was completed in 1875 and cost 20,000 Spd with furnishings. The building included a family residence for the superintendent,24 student rooms, a dining room, a library and an assembly hall. In 1879, the property was transferred by the Luther Foundation to the Board of Students' Homes.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, June 23, 20252. Studenter Hjemmet / Students Home and Marker
