The building was designed by the norwegian architects Morgenstierne and Eide from Oslo and built in 1914. It became something like a town hall for the people in Tyssedal. Here you could find the bank, the post office, police and even a jail. The hydropower company A/S Tyssefaldene also had their offices here.
The museum administration is situated here today. The building also contains the museum exhibition and a film theater. Photo: Harald Hognerud Kraftmuseet
The museum took over the building in 1994 and started an extensive restauration in cooperation with the national preservation authorities. Executive architect was Gro Lavold.
