Scharinska villan in Umeå, designed by architect Ragnar Östberg. It was constructed between 1904-05 and remained in private ownership until 1957 when it was acquired by Umeå Municipality. In 1960, the villa transitioned to become the first headquarters for Umeå Student Union.
Before the sale to Umeå Municipality, the furnishings were sold, and the present furniture was purchased by a private individual for a new mountain lodge in Hemavan, which was completed in 1956. Since then, the lodge along with its furnishings has been inherited by the current owner.
