The address is Stora Nygatan 30. Berzelius lived and worked here 1819-1828. Here Berzelius discovered thorium in 1828, and prepared metallic silicon and zirconium in 1824. Also Wöhler worked here 1823-24 and actually performed preliminary ammonium cyanate to urea isomerism experiments, thus disproving the principle of "vitalism."
