The sign on this building is in Icelandic.
It reads (as best I can transfigure Icelandic alphabetic characters):
"Gimli
Knud Zimsen verkfaedingur og borgarstjori i Reykjavik reisti husid til ibudar 1905 og nefndi Gimli. Dad var byggt m.a., ur steinum sem framleiddir voru i verksmidjunni Mjolni.
Loftin eru jarnbent og tumpakio er fyrsta pak ur jarnbentri steinsteypu a Islandi.
Hann flutti ur husinu 1911 en mestan hluta aldarinnar var husid notad fyrir ymsar riksstofnanir.
Husid var endurbyggt a vegum Minjaverndar 1986.
MINJAVERND"
Google translates it imperfectly as:
"Gimli
Knud Zimsen strike frenzy isolates and the Mayor of Reykjavik built house to apartments in 1905 and named Gimli. Dad was based, inter alia, stone manufactured in the work center flour.
Ceilings are reinforced and tumpakio first pak of reinforced concrete in Iceland.
