Lassla

History

In 1800, the plot belonged to Anna Grönqvist, a guardian dowager.

Modification drafts

The oldest alteration drawing of the plot dates back to 1890, and was drawn by John Fredr. Lindegren. The dwelling was a semi-detached house with a kitchen with a baking oven in the middle and chambers on either side. Flat tiled stoves were in the corners of the chambers. There was no entrance hall or porch, but the front door led directly into the kitchen. The building was raised from the attic and had a three-tiered, neo-Renaissance style of panelling. The window frames were classical in style. There was also an outbuilding on the southern edge of the site. It was joined by a small extension at the eastern boundary of the property and also had a small projection at the western end, which was apparently a latrine. There was also a small outbuilding facing the street. In 1899, the lining of the street end of the dwelling house was to be slightly different from the earlier plan. The drawing was made by Arvi Forsman..

The next modification drawing is from 1901. Arvi Forsman’s plan was to add one more room on the street side. The tiled stove was apparently to be replaced by a tin stove. The shed was to be demolished. According to this drawing, the outbuilding had two rooms, with a log section in the middle and a plank barn at the other end. The privy was now made in the same row. All three doors had a hatch on top. The building was shown as being vertically boarded. The plan was not realised, at least for the residential building.

In 1902, Forsman drew up a new plan for the exterior of the building. They wanted to extend it so that the end of the building reached the street. In addition to the barn and wood shed, the premises were enlarged with a latrine and a lean-to, replacing the fence that was to be demolished at this stage. A false window was to be built at the street end of the outbuilding.

In 1976, a small toilet was built on the porch of the residential building. In 1981, renovations were carried out again. A sauna was built in the barn, the kitchen was furnished and equipped to modern standards and the rooms were given more insulation. A new fence and a handsome gate were added to the roof.
