Mikola

History

In 1800 the plot belonged to the former bourgeois Hinr. Palpa. He had a small field, a boat, a fattening house and a barn.

Modification drafts

There are two buildings on the plot, a residential building on the northern boundary and an outbuilding on the southern boundary. The residential building had two living rooms and two kitchens, one of which had a baking oven. There had been one porch, but a second was built in 1906. The outbuilding had cattle sheds, a latrine and sheds. According to the alteration drawing by Arvi Tuomokoski, the street-facing ends of both buildings were given a new look, and a high fence was added between the buildings. The lining of the residential building is a three-tier lining. The panelling of the end window is quite simple and ends in a triangular section in the middle with a turned button in the middle. The upper part of the gate has a grille and similarly the upper part of the fence has a grille.

In 1915, Arvi Leikari had drawn up a plan to replace the outbuilding with a two-storey, stone slab-smith’s workshop building, which would have been attached to a stone building planned at the same time on an adjacent plot. Both were never built. In 1925, a small six-paned window was to be added to the end of the outbuilding.

In 1960, the kitchen in the apartment was renovated, with the addition of a kitchen sink and an electric stove. The wood stove was left in place, a bathroom was added at the end of the hallway and a large opening was made in the wall between the bedroom and the living room when the furnaces were dismantled. The central heating boiler was installed in the outbuilding, which also houses the shop, an office and storage room and a toilet.
