History

The owner of the house was Matti Ansten in 1800. He also had a small field and a food shed.

Modification drafts

The house, owned by the sailor Isak Blomroos, is altered in 1896. The alteration drawing was made by John Fredr. Lindegren. The house has two rooms with a kitchen in between. The dilapidated hearth in the kitchen is dismantled and a baking oven is built in the small kitchen, extending slightly to the porch. The tiled stoves in both chambers are in the corner, next to the outside wall. The outbuilding will be extended to include a toilet, stable and hallway. There are also a log barn and a shed. The building will have a restrained neo-renaissance lining.

In 1917, the house is owned by the labourer Wäinö Wiljanen. The building has a facade designed by Arvi Leikari, which is Art Nouveau-style. The upper part of the T-shaped windows is divided vertically into five smaller squares. The panelling of the windows is restrained. The gateway, with no top wood, is in keeping with the style. In the interior, a baking oven is replaced by a smaller masonry kitchen stove. A renovated outbuilding, came to the northern boundary of the property.

In 1924, a small porch extension is built on the courtyard side, with a new entrance and kitchen. The small building could be divided into two rooms and a kitchen. In 1993, there was a desire to change an earlier plan to build a sauna in the porch part of the dwelling. Now the sauna was to be located in a new building on the site of the old outbuilding. An old-style gate was also designed for the site in 1998. The façade of the residential building was altered to the 1897 design, the interior was renovated and a new outbuilding was constructed on the site.
