Modification drafts

There is a drawing of the buildings on the plot from 1883. The plan was for a new building on the site, with horizontal brickwork, six-paned windows with Neo-Renaissance panelling and a fretwork top. The walls would be horizontal boarded.

From 1891 there is John Fredr. Lindegren’s alteration drawing of the buildings on the plot. There were many buildings on the plot. In addition to a long residential building facing the street and another smaller residential building, there was a residential building in the courtyard on the northern boundary of the plot. There were outbuildings on the western and eastern sides of the plot. The change concerned a residential building along the street and a residential building on the northern boundary of the plot. The building along the street was a semi-detached house with a detached end chamber at the east end. The wall between the hallway and the anteroom was to be removed and the rooms combined to form a kitchen with a baking oven. The entrance to the apartment was now through the kitchen. There was a slatted door in front of the door, as well as in front of the entrance to the other separate apartment. The building was vertically planked, the windows were T-pane and had a classical wrap-around moulding. The pilasters structuring the wall were drawn in a neo-renaissance style. The residential building at the back of the courtyard was a semi-detached house at the base. The front part of the house was to be slightly extended to the courtyard and the entrance hall became the kitchen. Access to the building was from the side of the kitchen.

In 1911, Leonard Ahti drew an alteration drawing for the street side of the plot, from the highest point of the cliff. The other buildings were in the same places as twenty years earlier.

The building at the top of the rock had once been a sauna house, used not only for bathing but also for living. The room had a large stove with a stove. In front of the room was an entrance hall, which may also have contained a small chamber. Now the building was converted into a kitchen and pantry and a boarded entrance porch was added. The elevation and panelling were also part of the renovation programme. The exterior was given an Art Nouveau look.

In 1972, alterations were made to the building on the western boundary of the site, which had previously been connected to the building on the cliff top. The alterations involved converting the sheds at the north end of the building into a sauna, and the latrine at the side of the building was demolished. The building still retains a storeroom and a wood room. The buildings on the north and east sides of the plot had disappeared.

In 1986, the residential building on the western part of the site and the associated outbuilding were extensively renovated. The premises were converted into a two-room apartment with a sauna. Part of the attic was converted into a warm storage room. The plans were drawn up by Jukka Koivula.
