In 1897, Max and Hilma Happach moved into this nine-room villa in picture A, that stands alongside the four-storey building that housed Happach's soap factory. According to the inscription on their tombstone, Max was a manufacturer. In 1927, the villa became a place for public education. It was the home of the first Malmö branch of ABF a workers organisation that promotes adult education and social progress. Following a schism in the labour movement, these buildings were demolished to make room for a new project the offices of the Arbetet workers newspaper. Designed by city architect Carl-Axel Stoltz, they were completed in 1939. Arbetet went bankrupt in 2000, and the Malmö City Archive moved in 14 years later.
