Wähä-Tiula

History

The house belonged to Ekqvist in 1756 and in 1800 to Stina Wallenström, a customs officer’s widow.

Fire insurance

Albert Grönroos, a watchman, took out fire insurance for the house in 1899. The dwelling, located in the middle of the plot, is made of logs, boarded and painted with oil paint. It was old, but had been extended in 1888 and was again undergoing major renovation. The building was covered with felt. It had six rooms: four living rooms, a kitchen and a hall. The kitchen also had a baking oven. The building had one more room, the hall was enlarged and the whole building was raised and covered with felt, planked and painted with oil paint, and all the rooms were repaired, painted and wallpapered. Some of the rooms had also been fitted with new windows.

At the centre of the rear of the property, near the western boundary, was a group of buildings including an 1870s boarded log cabin, painted in mixed paint and with a pitched roof, an old dormitory building, painted in mixed paint and with a pitched roof. It had an attached latrine with a boarded toilet. The building has recently been boarded up, painted and re-roofed. The outbuilding at the rear of the property, on the northern boundary, is an old one, boarded up on the south side and east end, painted in a mixed colour and with a pitched roof. It contained a barn, a barn and a shed. In addition, the driveway gate and the board fence bordering the plot and the fence around the garden were insured.

The dwelling house underwent extensive repairs and alterations in 1990. An extension wing was built on the courtyard side. The premises consisted of one apartment.

Modification drafts

According to the 1888 modification drawing, there were three buildings on the plot: a residential building in the middle of the plot, facing the street, another building on the western boundary of the plot, and an outbuilding at the back of the courtyard, on the northern edge of the plot. The two-storey residential building facing the street had an entrance hall and, on the other side, a living room and an attic. Now they wanted to build a porch-like extension to provide a heated room and more space in the hallway. The lining of the building is a three-tiered neo-renaissance lining. The hexagonal windows are framed by moulded mouldings.

In 1911, a one-room, log outbuilding on the western boundary of the property was demolished, along with the board house and privy built alongside it. A new outbuilding was built on the site as a wing to the existing outbuilding on the northern boundary.

The dwelling house underwent alterations and repairs in 1989. The sauna and washrooms were inside. Two apartments remained in the building.
