HISTORY OF THE HOUSE
CASA BLUMER - A Zurich family villa
The Blumer family originally migrated to Zurich from the inner part of Switzerland in the 17th century.
Great-grandfather Sean Blumer established a mechanical business.
The growing factory was moved out to Oerlikon, still industrial land then.
But the young entrepreneur also started his search for a family home not too far. A little villa caught his eye...
A polite letter exchange in 1952 finally ended in the buy of the villa on two plots of land.
The "First generation": Grandfather Hans (1906-1991) and grandmother Olga Blumer in their office, 1946.
2018, when Chris Blumer took over in Third generation, the roof had become leaky and the electrics too old...a lot of work!
In 1983, daughter Verena Blumer took over in Second generation and made major renovations in 1984 - an outside chimney was added and also the conservatory.
But time passed on...
The roof was stripped and a new house added for the owner family, along with a renovation of the entire property.
Lots of work later, we proudly present
CASA BLUMER - Private Guesthouse!
