Christen Christensen was a very enterprising man and bought all the surrounding shipyards and properties. When Christen Christensen moved from his private home in the town of Sandefjord (later, butcher Lauritz Pedersen's home) to "Framnæsodden" in 1879, he had become the sole owner of "Rødsverven" and the Langestrand area. He laid out an apple garden in the same area as the "Framnæs mek Verksted" later on had their shipbuilding berth. The house was later dismantled and moved to South Georgia as the administrator residence.
