Fire insurance

The insurance was taken in 1890 by the sailor Isak Wilhelm Grönroos, who then owned the house. The only building on the plot was a former building, but it had been extended in the summer of 1890, when the part that had been built before was also renovated. The building was still unplanked, partly painted with mixed and oil paints, partly still unpainted. The roof was made of felt. There were five living rooms plus a kitchen, two hallways and a boarded porch. There were five tiled stoves, plus a kitchen wall with a stove and a baking oven. A gate and a fence were also insured.

Modification drafts

The 1889 modification drawing is by John Fredr. Lindegren. There is a residential building on the plot, which is a semi-detached house. It was extended. One part of the building had an entrance hall and rear chamber, hall and parlour, the other a hall and three chambers. Outside both there is a porch. The entire dwelling was lined in a uniform neo-renaissance style. The panelling is tripartite, with vertical pilasters dividing the walls and brackets on the attic floor. The four-paned window panelling ends in a lily-themed lintel. A neo-renaissance gateway has also been designed for the site. The fence is in two parts, the lower part is horizontal boarded with a moulding in between, the upper part is vertical boarded and the fence ends in another moulding. A drawing from 1893 shows that the baking oven is located in a different corner of the room from that shown in the earlier drawing, and this change of position was now to be confirmed.

There is an additional drawing from 1933, which concerns the exterior of the building. The long outhouse along the river was to be demolished and the existing outbuilding extended with a new boarded section, which, however, would be considerably shorter than the building to be demolished.

In 1978, the residential building was thoroughly renovated and fitted with toilets, washrooms and modern kitchens. Two apartments were left in the building. The plans were drawn up by Markus Bernoulli.
