Glomstua

This was a period where large sums were invested in buildings and facilities in Glomfjord. An agreement between the Norwegian state and the Swedish investors regarding power supplies to the planned zinc factory in Haugvik, led to great optimism. In 1918, Glomstua was thus built and the following year Ferdinand Bjerke, the director at the zinc factory, moved in. He became the first of several who over the years have lived in this beautiful building.

Engineer:
The drawings of Glomstua are signed "M. A. Bachkes Arkitektkontor" but Swedish consultants were also involved in the project. The building was made with many of the characteristics of the mansions of the time. There were separate rooms for servants and governesses, and in the annexes there was a playroom and workshop. Oddly enough, it was also arranged for pig and chicken keeping, which probably reflects the difficult supply situation during the First World War.

Worker:
Yeah, often the rules are different for different people, but when the stomach rumbles and the shop shelves are empty, the color of your shirt has little to say....

 
Engineer:
After the zinc factory went bankrupt in 1921, the state took over, by auction, most of the properties, including Glomstua.
 
After an agreement was entered into in 1927 with "The British Aluminum Corporation" for the production of aluminum at Haugvik Smelteverk, an agreement was also made to rent Glomstua. Thus, the director of the newly established aluminum plant, Hans Jensen, moved in the same year. And from 1938, operations manager Johannes Høeg lived in the house.

Worker:
It must be nice...
 
Engineer:
Excuse me? Didn't they agree that the workers' housing on Jæra was of a good standard?

Worker:
by all means, I am just saying that it is a nice building.
 
Engineer:
When Hydro established itself in Glomfjord in 1947, they also rented Glomstua. From 1949, Glomstua has been used as a representative building for Norsk Hydro. Among many famous guests is King Olav V. in 1959.
 
The building has been renovated several times, most recently during the 50th anniversary in 1997. However, the renovation work has been carried out in a discreet manner, and Glomstua has largely retained its historic atmosphere.
 
In 1995, Hydro bought Glomstua from Statkraft. Hydro thus finally became the master of his own house.
 
Worker:
Nice location too.
 
Engineer:
Yes the little glomvann is a pretty little lake which, … what's the point?
 
Worker:
Nothing….
 
Engineer:
No no, go on! Out with it!
 
Worker:
I think it's great that the guys at the top have a nice view when they're sitting around drinking coffee all day!
 
Engineer:
Again with these insults. Can't you just shut up!
 
Worker:
Make me!
 
Engineer:
I'm going to get them fired! That's what I'm going to do!
 
Worker:
I would like to see you try. I have the entire workforce behind me and if you try, we'll strike at once!
