History

The house was owned in 1756 by Enlund. In 1800 it belonged to the oldest of the sorvar family, Emanuel Enlund. He also owned a field and meadow, a reef with a barn and two beach fences.

Modification drafts

An extension plan for the residential building by Kaarlo Wirtanen dates from 1926. The old, narrow building grew in width as rooms were added on the north side. The gable of the building was raised and it was given a completely new look. The façade has a triangular roof in the middle. A small roofless platform faces it, with a glass door and window from the dwelling. There are three symmetrical four-square windows on either side of the centre. The main entrance is on the other side of the building. The appearance of the building is in keeping with the ambitions of the new buildings of the period. The outbuilding on the eastern boundary of the site, at right angles to the residential building, and the small outbuilding on the western side of the site were demolished to make way for additional construction, and a new outbuilding was built at the rear of the site.

In 1950, the building was modified. Both floors are residential, with two apartments downstairs and one upstairs. The apartments now have toilets and the downstairs apartment also has a bathroom with bathtub. In the following year, it was decided to create a porch-like projecting hall in the corner of the building and to demolish the open porch. However, these changes were not carried out.

In 1978 the buildings were renovated: new toilet facilities and a sauna. The kitchen was modernised.
