Modification drafts

There is an alteration drawing of the building from 1903. The building had previously had a hall, kitchen and pantry, or perhaps just two rooms without a kitchen. In front of the entrance there had been a small board porch. A small extension was now made to the courtyard and the kitchen was placed in the space formed by the extension and the former hallway. In front of the entrance there was a small boardwalk that led to both the kitchen and the second living room. A raising of the building was also on the agenda and a new Renaissance lining was planned. The exterior was also renovated. It had a log dormitory, two plank sheds and a new plank latrine, replacing the narrower part of the building and the separate latrine at the side of the building. The plan was drawn up by Arvi Forsman.

From 1910, Arvi Leikari’s design for the fence and gate of the plot, with a repeating solar lattice. In 1911, a diagonal chamber was added to the residential building on the street side. Leonard Ahti’s drawing had a neo-renaissance façade similar to Forsman’s plan. In 1917, the premises were divided into two apartments.

In 1981, the residential building was again converted into a single apartment and equipped with modern washrooms. The building had already had a toilet room. A sauna was built in the outbuilding. The conversion plan was drawn up by Markus Bernoulli.
