You have now reached stop 18 of the children's tour, The Mine Side.
In the yellow house between the Old Fire Station and down towards Dalarnas Museum, many different things have happened.
First, it was a school for those who wanted to become engineers. Engineers are people who work on constructing things, and of course, there was a need for people with those skills up at the mine. Then the building was renovated and became a Civic House. There was a library and a large hall where the city's decision-makers met. That's why the big grassy area down towards the river is called Medborgarplatsen (Citizen Square).
Now it says SverigeSRadio above the door. Have you ever listened to Radio Dalarna? The people who speak in the radio programs sit inside here, unless they are out interviewing people, of course.
Do you see that this house also has a small, beautiful tower? And there's a clock that everyone can see. It's useful if you want to know the time.
