Nyyman

History

In 1756 the plot belonged to Juhana Nyman. In 1800 it was owned by Adolph Rothman, a blacksmith. He had a small field and meadow.

Fire insurance

The fire insurance was taken out in 1847 by the labourer Isak Söderström. There were four buildings on the small plot. The building on the west side of the street was built in 1843. It was boarded up and painted red. The rooms consisted of a lobby, a hall, two chambers and a kitchen. The building had five six-paned windows and five attic windows. The entrance stairs were covered and the roof was supported by pillars. The outer door was a simple double door with a window above. The attic stairs started from the hall closet. The external doors were semi-transomed. Two of the rooms had wallpaper and skirting and mouldings. The tiled stoves included one brown glazed angular stove and two similar round stoves.

The second street-side building was built in 1843. It was unplanked and painted red with clay paint. The building had two chambers. There were two windows, as well as attic windows. There were also two intermediate doors and they were semi-transomed. There were stairs and a hatch to the attic. Apparently they were outside the house. The ovens were round, with brown glazing.

The baker’s building on the Kitukränn side was old and unplanked, but painted with red paint, in fair condition. The building had two stoves and one oven. There was one window and one boarded door.

The outbuilding on the southern boundary of the property was old, unpainted and unplanked. It had a barn, stable and shed, all with lofts. A gate and fence were also insured.

The insurance policy was renewed in 1882. The house was then owned by Ernfrid Berglund, a shoemaker. The west-facing dwelling was boarded up in 1880 and painted in yellow oil paint. The interior had been redecorated with new wallpaper and other repairs. The second residence had also been partly boarded up and painted with yellow oil paint in 1880, but parts were still unboarded and painted red. The roadside section and the wing on the Kitukränn side now formed a single building. There were three chambers, a baker’s pantry and hall, and a covered staircase. In the last year a third chamber was decorated and a tiled stove was added. The oven and floor in the bakehouse were replaced, while the other two chambers were redecorated and the windows repaired.

In 1890, the western part of the house was owned by the barber Simson Blomberg. The western street-side building had a felt roof, a porch with windows and an entrance to Kuninkaankatu with a double door with a full transom and a glass top. The staircase on the side of the street was of stone. In the summer of 1890, the building had been raised, the windows and doors replaced, as well as the tiled stoves, one of which was porcelain tiled, and the kitchen stove, which was also tiled. The floors and ceilings had been rebuilt and the inside of the rooms were wallpapered and painted.

The western end of the exterior building was renovated in 1890. It was made of logs, unpainted and covered with boards. The policyholder owned the dormitory, the barn, the latrine and half of the manure tank. The old log building had been dismantled and rebuilt, re-roofed, new doors and windows and redecorated.

Modification drafts

The modification drawing of the plot was made by John. Fredr. Lindegren in 1890. The building facing the street had a central hall. On either side of the hall were two rooms half the width of the building frame, one of which was an entrance hall, the other a kitchen, and the other two chambers. The chamber at the far end of the doorway was to be used for commercial purposes, as a small hallway with a pulpit roof and a door on the roof side was planned adjacent to the building. There was also a small board porch in front of the courtyard entrance. The façade cladding of the building was proposed to be three-tiered and neo-renaissance in style. The four-light windows are proposed to be replaced by two-light windows. The window panelling included a lily-themed top board. The second dwelling on the site was not well defined, but consisted of two sections of different widths. The outbuilding contained a barn, stables, a woodworking shop, a dormitory and a shed.

There is another façade drawing of the building facing Kuninkaankatu from 1890. This too was made by John. Fredr. Lindegren. A shop door was opened next to the window of the room at the western end of the building, and it was decided to do away with the door to the gateway. The lining of the building was described as similar to the previous drawing. It was now decided to leave the windows as four-sash windows. The door surrounds also had the same lilac theme as the window panelling. The door was a mirrored double door with a glass top. The window above the door bore the name of the shopkeeper, S. Blomberg.

There was a façade drawing from 1896 for another street-side building. It was drawn by John Fredr. Lindegren. The second window on the street façade was to be replaced by a commercial door. The cladding of the building was shown as a three-tiered neo-Renaissance lining. The windows are T-shaped and have no lily motif in the lining, but straight mouldings and square motifs. A rectilinear gateway was drawn between the buildings, with a separate pedestrian gate. In 1899, the building was given a new plank porch. The location of the chamber wall was also changed. It turns out that the building frame consisted of two separate sections. A wider section along the street had two adjoining rooms, one of which was used for business. The narrower part had a baker’s room, a hall and a pantry. In 1907, Arvi Forsman had drawn up a new plan to open the door to the commercial building onto the street side.

In 1909, the façade of the west side of the building was altered according to a design by Arvi Leikari. The shop entrance was placed in the centre with display windows on both sides. The framing of the windows was in Art Nouveau style.

In 1933, the street door on the eastern side of the building facing Kitukränn was closed and replaced by a window. The commercial room became the kitchen. The bakehouse had previously been divided into a room and a kitchen. Now the door between this kitchen and the adjoining room, the chamber, was closed and two separate apartments were added to the building. A new kitchen was also added to the second building in 1940. The building was then occupied by a commercial apartment, comprising a shop, a kitchen and a room, and a room and a kitchen apartment.

In 1980, changes were made to the east side of the building, which became a meeting place for the Rauman käsi- ja pienteollisuusyhdistys (Rauma Craft and Small Industry Association). In this context, toilet facilities were also added. In 1988, a new, old-style gate was built along Kuninkaankatu. In 1997, the outbuilding, which is shared by the owners of the plot, was renovated. A sauna was built there. In 1999, the residential building on Kuninkaankatu was renovated. A porch was built on the side of the courtyard to provide toilet and washroom facilities. The roof entrance was closed. The latest plans were drawn up by Markus Bernoulli.
