Pictures from Dynge
The backyard of Braathengården, later also called Ihlengården. It was later owned by Blegeberg (daughter and son-in-law of Ihlen). Several families lived there, including their relatives.
The backyard of Braathen farm with the outbuilding. The entire house burned down in 2011.
The Paulsen family's house in Dynge. The outbuilding on the left has been demolished, while the farmhouse on the right still stands.
Langebakk photographed from Vendelborg in the direction of Dynge. The nearest house belonged to Karen Fisker, then Thoresen and Laugerud with an old outhouse. The man in the photo is Nils Paulsen (Gabbe), who lived in the outhouse at Paulsen's (cf.R001). He had TV license no. 8 in Norway, and the outhouse became a gathering place for people in the area.
The old Haugsund school. The building is practically unchanged today.
Street section from Dynge. The house closest to the left belonged to Kulland, who had an ice house for salmon that was to be shipped by rail (the ice house is not in the photo). The next house belonged to Nils Paulsen - relative (uncle?) of Nils Paulsen in photo R005. The house on the right belonged to Olga Amundsen.
Photo from Langebakk, taken from Vendelborg towards Dynge (cf.R005) Closest is the flat roof of Ishuset, then Elvehuset. The photo is taken from Hillerens hus (Timberli). Outbuildings down towards the river.
Street from Dynge. From the left we see the houses of Andreas Engebretsen ("The Count") - his sons Georg, Odd and Arne were good football players.
The next house belonged to Julius Grimnes (now belongs to his daughter Turid Skyba), and then Amundsen (cf. ØEK001).
Street section from Dynge. The photo was taken at the same location as ØEK899, but in the opposite direction.
