Hello from Minnesota,
I am a volunteer researcher for the Swedish Genealogical Society of Minnesota. I have been helping two former University of Minnesota professors as they prepare an application to have a former synagogue in Minneapolis placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The reason is Gunnar Fredrik (b. 18 Jan 1900, Malmö Caroli) had immigrated to Minnesota in the 1920s and then opened an interior design business: Dahlström and Weinberger. He did interiors for movie theaters, but he also designed the interior of this former synagogue.
Gunnar had siblings who did not come to America and we know he made some trips to Sweden during his life, perhaps bringing some of his design paintings with him to leave there. The professors are seeking images of these paintings in order to add them to the application.
Does anyone know if Gunnar Fredrik is known in Sweden and if his design paintings are displayed anywhere in the country?
Best regards,
Martin Remus
