History

The house was owned in 1756 by Renner’s widow. In 1800 the house belonged to the bourgeois Erik Longsrtöm. He had over a barrel of arable land, plus a meadow, a half share of a reef and a barn. He also had a waterfront barn and a loading dock. He also had ship shares.

Fire insurances

The fire insurance was taken in 1865 by the worker E. Lindström. There were three buildings on the plot at the corner of Kuninkaankatu and Isopoikkikatu, the main building on Kuninkaankatu, another residential building on Isopoikkikatu and an outbuilding on the southern boundary of the plot. The main building was old and built in earlier times. It was partly log, partly plank, unplanked but painted red. The roof was made of boards. It had two halls, two chambers, a kitchen and a porch. There were four tiled stoves and a kitchen stove. There was a cellar under the building.

The second residential building was built in 1865. The lower part was made of logs and the upper part was made of boards. The building was in good condition, unplanked and unpainted. It consisted of a hall, two chambers, a baker’s room, a kitchen and a hall or, according to the plan, a porch with a cupboard. There were three tiled stoves, plus an oven and a cooker in the baking room and a stove in the kitchen.

The outbuilding was old and in fair condition. It was an unplanked and unpainted log building with a barn, a barn and a stable. The building had a pitched roof. There was a small wooden shed on the side of the outbuilding which was not insured. The gate to the property was located along Isopoikkikatu.

Modification drafts

In 1879, double doors were opened on the roof of the building, nearest the window at the west end. The space was reserved for the storage of fire-fighting equipment for the volunteer fire brigade. The windows of the building were six-paned and classically panelled. The windows were topped by double-paned attic windows. The roof was boarded at both ends. An alteration drawing of the building dates from 1881. At that time there was a residential building on the plot along Kuninkaankatu, a residential and outbuilding on the eastern boundary and an outbuilding on the southern boundary. On the Kuninkaankatu side, between the buildings, there was a covered gateway. The building on the east side had previously been a bakery and now the two rooms facing the street were to be converted to residential use. In the following year, it was decided to repair the exterior and replace the previous part of the boarding with logs. The renovations continued in the same year. The baking room in the building on the east side of the plot was to be converted into a chamber and fitted with a tiled oven, and a baking room was to be built in the adjacent room, which had previously been part of the outbuilding. The residential building on the Kuninkaankatu side was a two-storey building with a hall and an antechamber in the middle, large rooms on both sides and end chambers at either end. In the entrance hall, the intention was to have a tiled stove. The building also included a porch. In the same year, a commercial door was made on the side of Kuninkaankatu, on the eastern part of the building. In front of the double

door were stairs rising from two sides. The Kuninkaankatu side had six-paned, classically lined windows. The doorway was arched at the top and had a separate access door next to it, similar to the Kirsti doorway.

From 1889, John Fredr. Lindegren’s alteration drawing for the extension of the exterior building. There was a residential building at Kuninkaankatu and Isopoikkatu and an outbuilding on the southern boundary of the plot.  Now they wanted to add a wing with a stable, a shed and a toilet. In the old part there was a barn, a barn and now a dormitory that can be divided in two.

The 1899 modification drawing by Arvi Forsman shows that the building on Kuninkaankatu was slightly larger than the other residential building. The building had a duplex room extended by a single end chamber. An extension had been made to the porch for the kitchen. Now there was to be a commercial entrance at the corner of Kuninkaankatu and Isopoikkikatu, but no display windows. The building on Isopoikkikatu was also a semi-detached house with a room at one end. The building had a baker’s pantry and three other living rooms and a hallway. On the courtyard side was a board porch. Both buildings were to have new cladding on the façade. They were identical. The window surround moulding ended up with a lily motif. At least the change in the lining and the corner entrance were not implemented. In 1903, Forsman proposed a slightly simpler neo-renaissance cladding for the buildings. The building would be horizontal-panelled and the window frames would consist of straight mouldings with chamfers and buttons. In 1905 it was proposed to open a shop window to the Kuninkaankatu side and to make fireplace alterations in connection with this.

In 1907, Leonard Ahd drew an alteration drawing for the Art Nouveau façade of the building on the Isopoikkikatu side. The building was horizontal boarded and the window framing and plastic plant motifs below the windows were in the Art Nouveau style. There are alteration drawings by Leonard Ahd from 1910 and 1912, which continued the style into theKuninkaankatu side of the building. The shop doors and display windows were also opened onto the roof side, but their framing followed the style. In addition, the alteration plans included fireplace modifications and extensions to the courtyard side. More display windows were added in 1928, and changes to windows, doors and partitions were proposed throughout the 1930s and 1950s as the need arose.

In 1929, a bakery oven was added to the building facing Isopoikkikatu.

In 1958, changes were made to the building on Kuninkaankatu. A boiler room was built in the basement under the building. The old heating furnaces were demolished. Toilet facilities were also added to the commercial apartments. After the changes, the street façade was almost a continuous row of shop windows, punctuated by the doors of the three commercial buildings.

In 1984, a residential building along Isopoikkikatu was renovated. The premises were combined into a single apartment, which was equipped to meet the requirements of the time. The sauna facilities were designed in an outbuilding. A few years later, it was found necessary to add a couple of rooms to the outbuilding wing. The attics of the former outbuildings were partly used as living quarters and partly as warm storage. In 1988, an old-style gateway to the street frontage was also designed. The plans were drawn up by Markus Bernoulli.
