Johan Sverdrup was a lawyer by training and was mayor of his hometown of Larvik when he was elected to the Storting in 1857. He proved to be a political genius. Many democratic reforms were mainly his work during the 40 years he was associated with the Storting and government. The highlight of his political career was the implementation of parliamentarism(Submitted on July 3, 2025.)in the Norwegian state system in 1884 after many years of struggle, and Sverdrup was able to form Norway's first left-wing government.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, June 25, 20252.

Johan Sverdrup moved from Solheimløkken in 1874 after he had bought the farm Nordal or Økernstua in Østre Aker. In 1895 the municipality bought Solheim and converted it into Frogner police station. At the same time, a new prison building was built, which was converted into a residential building when the property passed into private ownership.
