Awareness of the value of the wooden buildings is relatively new. In the 1940s, the municipality prepared comprehensive plans for modernizing the centre. The plans implied complete clearance of the existing buildings in the centre and at Straen. Only the cathedral, Kongsgård and the old post office were to be left standing. The first projects carried out in line with the clearance plans (Klubbgata, Olavskleiva) provoked protests. These resulted in a conservation plan for Straen, or ”Old Stavanger” (Gamle Stavanger), in 1956. This was one of the first conservation plans in the country and was extremely important for subsequent town planning in Stavanger. Architect Einar Hedén was central in this work. The plan has been expanded several times and it is now acknowledged that not only the city centre, but also all the wooden buildings in central districts, are important to Stavanger. The wharf warehouses are also an important part of Stavanger’s character. The herring period from about 1800– 1880 changed the towns’s appearance in the shape of a continuous row of 200–300 warehouses from Sandvigå to Strømsteinen. When the herring disappeared, many of the warehouses were abandoned or were converted for other uses such as canning Above: Old Stavanger, Nedre Strandgate Below: Old Stavanger, Øvre Strandgate TRACES UNTIL 1965 26
factories. Only approximately 60 still remain and many have changed shape or facade over time. In addition, they now lie some distance from the water following repeated landfills along the harbour front. However, they are still a visible and characteristic feature of the city. Many are now used as restaurants, pubs and discos, others as shops, storerooms or offices. It was not until 1993 that a complete register of the remaining warehouses was compiled and specific conservation regulations introduced.
