History

In 1800 the house was owned by an enlisted soldier Joh. Reinholm, who also had some land.

Modification draft

From 1891 there is a document by John Fredr. Lindegren, which shows the building stock of the plot at that time. The main building was located opposite the ruins of the Old Church. There was a second building along Eteläpitkäkatu with two small, separate rooms along the street, a row of buildings on the western boundary of the plot and two separate buildings or porches on the courtyard side. There was another building on the north side of the plot. The conversion involved extending the residential building to the Eteläkatu. Almost the entire length of the building was widened on the courtyard side. The extensions involved the demolition of two rooms in the second building and the extension on the courtyard side. Three separate apartments were created in the residential building, with kitchens and entrances on the courtyard side and living rooms on the roof side. The façade of the residential building was clad with vertical sheeting, terminating in a cornice at the top. The attic part was smooth. The windows were four-paned and had a classicist frame moulding. On the courtyard side, on the western boundary of the property, the outbuilding was renovated. Two toilets and log sheds were added to the plank building. The facade of the outbuilding was vertically boarded.

There is a modification drawing from 1923, which concerns the wing to be built on the residential building on the side of Eteläpitkäkatu. At the same time, the buildings on the western boundary of the plot and along Eteläpitkäkatu were demolished. The new part was divided into two apartments, one with a room and a kitchen, the other with two rooms and a kitchen. The facade of the new wing was made similar to the older part of the building.

In 1966, a basement was built under the wing on the Eteläkatu side of the building to house a boiler room and an oil tank. At the same time, the fireplaces in the rooms were dismantled, water pipes were laid to the kitchens, and all five apartments were equipped with toilets. The layout of the apartments was not changed.
