House in Drammen or Lier?

[gj05515]

Hello,

I am trying to find out where this house is. I know it is in or near Drammen, possibly in Lier. The address might be Lierstranda 10, or some other street name starting with "Lier".

Another possible address is "Lierstand 42"

The picture is from about 1914. I think the house owners might have been Martha and Johannes Madsen.

Could this be the family of Marta and Johannes Madsen?

Hi Brian

Lierstranda is in Lier, but it starts at the border of Drammen.
It looks like a typical house from this area.
Here is the only photo I have found from close to Lierstranda 10. It is of the house with address Lierstranda 5 beeing torn town (no 1 and 3 is already down).
The view must be from somewhere very close to Lierstranda no 10:

I think the house is Lierstranda 40.

Lierstranda used to be the main road out of Drammen toward Oslo. IT was all located in Lier. Due to new main road build in 1972, most of Lierstranda was demolished. Today the first number in Lierstranda is 28. I will try to find a foto of no.42, to compare With your foto.

This is Lierstranda 40 today. (You can find it on Google Earth). No.42 is gone.
