The present building on
Number 1 (
Deucalion 10) is the product of a reconstruction in the 20th century when two older buildings (
Deucalion 4 & 5) were merged. They were separated by a medieval alley parallel to Funckens Gränd, of which remains a narrow and elongated backyard passing through the present block. All other traces of the medieval neighbourhood have been obliterated by repeated reconstructions over hundreds of years. In historical records, various properties in the block have been merged and partitioned at numerous occasions. In the mid 17th century, the building was owned by a Mrs. Brita Grönberg, but was by the end of that century taken over by the Funck family. It is described in the mid 18th century as four stories tall and furnished with a stone portal, but was, however, completely rebuilt in 1867. The building on
Number 3 (
Deucalion 6) is what remains of a property which once stretched along the entire alley. It was owned by Mrs. Brita Grönberg, daughter to the merchant Mårten Trotzig who gave
Mårten Trotzigs Gränd its name. Following the death of the former, the property was partitioned in three. The stone table on the façade from 1715 carries the initials and symbol of Gustaf Hästesko ("Gustav Horseshoe"). The building have been rebuilt at several occasions since, the top floor is from 1755. According to an inscription from 1908 on 53, Kornhamnstorg, the building on
Number 4 (
Typhon 18) was built by Thomas Funck who gave the alley its name. The inscription is however wrong, Thomas lived on 59, Kornhamnstorg, but his son Johan Funck lived in this building and, having made a fortune on copper production, bought many other buildings in the city, just like did his widow. The stone inscription is however right in the claim the present building was rebuilt in the early 20th century to the design of
Ferdinand Boberg, the architect who designed the
Stockholm City Hall. ==See also==
