Titel: Stockholm addresses

I am confused about where my ancestors lived. Perhaps someone who knows about the old area of Stockholm can help me. In the letters written by Carolina Ahlgren Olsson, she refers to the clock in the church which was outside the nursery of their apartment. From what I have reconstructed, they lived at 7 different addresses. She writes about the church clock in letters from the 1904 - 1911 era, when they moved between Klara parish and Johannes parish. I know that the postmarks from her letters in Dec 1907 and 1911 were from Malmskillnadsgatan #17. Today that address is in the financial district of Stockholm, since that area of the city has been rebuilt. Was that address near the Johannes parish church? If not, perhaps it was near the Klara parish church? Carolina talks frequently about having the clock outside the window of the house, and I'd like to include a recent photo of the church tower in my family history. Also, I will be in Stockholm next summer, and I want to see those churches. Thanks! One more quick question - after the Olssons retired, they moved to Vendelsö. Is that an area of Stockholm, or a town that is north?
