History

According to the annex to the 1756 map of the town, the owner of the house was Matti Lang. In 1800 the owner was the patron Mich. Sjövall. He was recorded as a pauper.

Modification drafts

For a very long time, the Sepplä house had had two owners, one of whom had owned the west end of the main building and the other the east end, as well as one room in the building by the gate. The outbuildings were divided between the owners. A small, separate living room was rented until the 1950s. The room was occupied by lace-makers, among others. The owners were usually long-term, for example Raakel Ruusu, who died a few years ago aged over 80, had lived in the east end of the house all her life.

The changes to the house are minor. In 1913, a small extension was made to the porch of the east end dwelling and a small, narrow window was added to the east end of the building, which was quite high up. A modification drawing by Kaino Kari dates from 1928. The residential building on the plot had two apartments. One had two rooms and a kitchen, the other a room and a kitchen. Both kitchens had a baking oven. The outbuilding on the northern side of the plot was connected to a wing with one room and a terrace. On the western boundary of the site was a separate stable building, of which it was intended to demolish part of one room. The east end of the dwelling house was now fitted with a standard living room window. In 1954, the then owner of the west end of the house, Taimi Leivo, applied for a permit for an alteration to replace the baking oven in the barn and the oven in the adjoining chamber with an oil-fired fireplace. A courtyard window in the same room was also proposed to be closed and a number of cupboards were also built. In 1971, a toilet was added to the same dwelling, the kitchen and the second room were relocated and the wood stove was abandoned. In 1991, an old-style gate was built in Sepplä.
