Luandla

History

The owner of the land in 1756 is listed as the widow of Luondila. In 1800 the owner was the bourgeois John Lundberg. He also had a field.

Modification drafts

In 1898, there was a residential building on the Luondla plot at the corner of Helsinki Square, which was apparently connected to the end-chambered semi-detached building on Pappilankatu and the building on Vähämalminkatu, consisting of a bakery and a chamber, by creating a section with an entrance and three small chambers in the corner between the buildings. There were differences in height on the plot, so that the new entrance hall had stairs to all the rooms on the Pappilankatu side, while the chamber on the Anundilankatu side was at a lower level, i.e. at the same level as the rooms in the bakery part. The joint had been made earlier and now the intention was to add another room to the Anundilankatu row, with its own entrance. The outbuildings on the plot were on the southern and western boundaries. Now they wanted to connect the buildings with intermediate parts on boards, which would contain woodworking rooms and a toilet. In the old log sections there were two dormitories, a furniture room and a barn.

The façade of the main building follows the design of John Fredr. Lindegren’s 1898 drawing. The lower part of the façade was horizontally boarded and the attic part was smooth. The framing of the cross-section windows terminated in a triangular phase at the top, with a triangular phase with curlicue moulding. The same year also saw a drawing of the facade of the outbuilding: the large outbuilding was vertically boarded. The windows of the residential building were converted into T-shaped windows according to a drawing from 1904.

In 1932, the main building was altered. The baking room was abandoned and one of the chambers was converted into a kitchen. The baking oven was replaced by a window and the room was given two windows instead of one. At the same time, other fireplace alterations were made and the stone base of one of the rooms on the street front, which had previously been low, was raised. A couple of new porches were added on the courtyard side. Part of the outbuilding was demolished.

In 1974, the house had four apartments. When the toilets were built, the number of apartments was reduced to three and later in the 1980s to two. In 1981, a sauna was planned inside the building. In 1982, a new outbuilding was built on the site and a sauna was added. The old outbuildings of Luondlank were destroyed by bombing during the Winter War.
