History

In 1756 Kirsti belonged to Mikko Tiula. In 1800 the plot was owned by the bourgeois Joh. Panelius Jr. He also owned a field and shares in a ship.

Modification drafts

The modification drawing of Kirsti dates from 1901 and was made by Arvi Forsman. The alteration was not carried out, but the plan is typical of its time. The intention was to convert the gateway corridor through the Kirst house into a living room, and at the same time to move the two-chamber stoves from the corner to the gable end of the building. Otherwise the rooms were not to be touched. The building would have been given a new look. The vertical planking might have been the same as before, but the six-paned windows would have been changed to four-paned and framed with profiled, straight moulding, more pronounced than the old Custavian moulding on the windows. The outbuildings on the southern boundary of the site would have been joined by a hinge section and one more boardwalk would have been added at one end.

Current situation

Residential building
Two-storey, oblong residential building from the 1700s, gateway, vertical planking, partly pantiled, saddle roof. A plan had been drawn up and approved for the parsonage, which, if followed, would have given it a similar appearance to many other houses renovated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: four-light windows, panelled brickwork and a simple, neo-Renaissance frame around the windows. A room would have replaced the pass-through door. However, the plan drawn up by Arvi Forsman in 1901 was never realised.

Shed
Longitudinal shed, unlined

Outdoor building
Long and short-cornered outbuilding, partly clad in sheet metal

Basement
Basement, sheet-rocked, saddle roof

Well
Old wellhead structure

Gate
A gate through a building, with a separate access gate in addition to the drive gate. The gateway, which includes a curved ornate coping, is of the old type.
