After Petter Schultin's death on August 7, 1781, his widow Catharina Margaretha Wullff took over the management of the sugar factory and skillfully ran it until July 28, 1792, when she transferred it through a gift deed to her son, the royal secretary Anders Schultin, and her daugh-
ter Helena Schultin and her husband, the chamberlain Petter Ludvig Cronsioe, "the Svanen sugar factory, with its accompanying buildings under numbers 353 and 354, together with the effects, raw materials, finished sugar, and inventory" to "own and hold half of each and dispose of freely". The recipients of the gift had the properties auctioned off on August 27, September 24, and October 22 of the same year. During the approximately 15 years that Svanen was owned by the Schultin family and only refined sugar and syrup were produced, the sales of both facto- ries increased significantly and amounted to in 1785, Patrioten's 98,796 bowl pounds of refined sugar, 2,100 bowl pounds of candy sugar, and 64,175 bowl pounds of brown syrup and Svanen's 31,500 bowl pounds of refined sugar and 46,000 bowl pounds of brown syrup; in 1790, Patri- oten's 11,960 bawl pounds of refined sugar, 500 bowl pounds of candy sugar, and 28,000 bowl pounds of brown syrup and Svanen's 9,000 bowl pounds of refined sugar and 17,000 bowl pounds of brown syrup; and in 1795, Patrioten's 91,510 bowl pounds of refined sugar, 650 bowl pounds of candy sugar, and 69,500 bowl pounds of brown syrup and Svanen's 30,996 bowl pounds of refined sugar and 40,000 bowl pounds of brown syrup.
During this time, Patrioten expanded its property space by purchasing properties 346 and 347, which were located between the sugar facto- ries. Property 347 was purchased through a deed on May 22, 1780, and property 346 was purchased on February 16, 1784 by the tailor Niclas Broberg. Property 346, which in the 1530s had been the home and print shop of Christiern Pedersen and together with Corfitz Ulfeldt's other property was seized by the Swedish government in 1660, had like pro- perty 353 been in the von der Haghen family and managed by the afore- mentioned merchant Gerhard von Schwindern. However, he sold it on December 18, 1702 to goldsmith Hans Jonsson, and it was then sold on February 2, 1709 for 30 ctr smt to the tailor Abraham Norlin, who like property 347 was given notice on June 23rd and 30th and July 7th, 1712 and given a deed on March 8th, 1718. According to land surveyor Johan Hesselgreen's survey on May 4th, 1713, the property then had a width of 10 cubits at Adelgatan and in the south of 121/4 cubits and a length in the west and east of 391/2 cubits. Later, the property had several owners; until tailor Niclas Broberg on July 1st, 1774, according to the auction house's deed, acquired it for 40I ctr smt (copper penny) and was given notice on May 15, June 12, and July 10.
