History

The Mäkelä plot belonged to the widow of Lagerbähr in 1756. In 1800 the plot belonged to the potter Johan Hogenhus. He also owned three barrels of arable land, a meadow, two barns and a half share in a reef and barn.

Modification drafts

An alteration drawing of the Mäkelä buildings dates from 1884. Before the alteration, there were two separate residential buildings on the west side of the plot, with a gate between them. One building consisted of a room and a porch and the other, before the alteration, had a parlour, two chambers, a hall and a shed. On the northern boundary of the plot, there was an outbuilding on the western side of the plot and a one-room baker’s building on the eastern side. An outbuilding comprising a stable, barn, shed and barn was located on the eastern boundary of the plot, with the end facing Kiviniemenkatu. Now a wing was to be built on the northern boundary of the plot, connecting the second baker’s building with the residential building on the western boundary. Two sections of different widths were inserted, one with two rooms, the other with an entrance hall, a hall and a pantry. At the same time, the rooms of the old buildings were altered: a chamber was removed from the bakehouse and a kitchen was added to the western wing. The building was divided into two apartments, and a porch was built in front of both entrances. A new angular outbuilding was also built. A basement, which had already existed on the site, was left under the outbuilding.

In 1900, Arvi Forsman drew an alteration drawing of the residential building with a neo-renaissance lining. The planking is tripartite, and the T-pane windows are framed in straight lines. The high gate is also in the neo-renaissance style. The west wing of the residence was extended with a kitchen, hallway and two chambers. On the same site, at a slightly different angle to the dwelling, a separate one-room dwelling previously standing on the same site was demolished or relocated as part of a new extension. In 1904, the outbuilding on the eastern boundary of the site was extended with a board shed.

In 1979, the premises of the apartment in the west wing of the residential building were converted into a shop. There were two other apartments in the building. In 1987, the space that had been used as a shop became a flat again.
