context_page_description: Villa Filipstad at the address Munkedamsveien 62 is a notable building in the neighborhood Filipstad in Oslo, Norway.
  It was commissioned by banker Jørgen Haslev Heftye, and was finished in 1864. The architect was Georg Andreas Bull. Heftye's family had owned the property since 1805. His son Johannes Heftye later inherited it. From 1909 the property was owned by the state, specifically the Norwegian State Railways. They used it as the director-general's residence. After the reorganization of the State Railways, the property has been owned by Rom Eiendom. Tenants in the later years include Norwegian Directorate for Public Libraries and, currently, the company Mantena.
  The villa is very prominent in the terrain, being situated atop a crag. It is similar to, and can be viewed from, Oscarshall across Frognerkilen.
