Stroomi (?)

Stroomi Rand, unofficial name of Pelgurand (see Pelguranna), beach named after an inn called Stroomi kõrts or Stromischer Krug after one-time alderman Bengt Fromhold Strohm (?1747-early 19th C). Interestingly, another Strohm, an iron-merchant called Johan Andreas Strohm (1744-89) is recorded as owning an inn at Tatari 1 in 1786, as well as 4 others in the suburbs. I’m not saying they were related, but I’m not saying they weren’t...
