The Küselska House, also known as Eliaesonska House, is a notable landmark in Gamla stan's kvarteret Argus at Skeppsbron 40, Stockholm. Constructed in 1701 by architect Nicodemus Tessin d.y for Roland Eliaeson, one of the city's richest men, the house features a stunning Roman Baroque-style facade. However, its most unique feature lies in the two-meter-high socket that once housed a clock. Since its construction in 1701, the building has been transformed over time. It now houses tourist accommodations, the Association of Painting Companies in Sweden, the Glass Industry Association, and several law firms. From 1992 to 2002, it was used as the exterior for Dahlén's main office in the TV soap opera Rederiet.
