Waldemar Hansteen
Albert Waldemar Hansteen (25 May 1857 - 4 May 1921) was a Norwegian architect.[1]
Born in Christiania, he worked mainly in his hometown and Skien. He shared responsibility for the Norwegian contribution to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. [2]
He is most associated with his work on Tostrup Yard (Tostrupgården), a business premises on Karl Johans Gate in Oslo. The structure was designed by architects Christian Fürst, Torolf Prytz, and Waldemar Hansteen and built between 1896-1898. The five story building was one of the oldest in Norway with load-bearing structures in steel. It was also among the first to have an elevator and use electric lighting.
He also oversaw the erection of Gol stave church at Bygdøy, today a part of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. His work included the main office of the former Central Bank of Norway (1912-1922, with Henrik Bull), as well as the headquarters of the former Fellesbanken and Sparebanken NOR.[3]
