One of the houses is located on Bökön located west of Emmaboda's sports ground. The second stands on a hill between Emmaboda parish hall and the Bjurbäck school. In 1874, Emmaboda railway station was established for the Coast-to-Coast Line (Kust till kust-banan) and in 1875 Karlskrona-Växjö railway was connected to the station in Emmaboda.
