==Use by Fridtjof Nansen== The property originally belonged to Fornebu farm, but was separated from the farm in 1897. Construction on the property took place in 1900 and 1901. It was the home of Fridtjof Nansen and Eva Nansen from 1901, and was named Polhøiden in the day. Their son Odd Nansen was born and grew up here.
