Toripolliisi

Jacob Wilhelm Callmeijer, mergant, ship master and sea captain, purchased a lot from Anna Catherine Goldbacka, the widow of a copper smith, in Oulu´s first quarter on the seashore on 12 October 1826. It was on this lot, the address of which is Rantakatu 6, that Callmeijer built his house.

The house´s first section, which represents unassuming classicism, was completed on the Kauppurienkatu side of the lot in 1828, and the Carolinian – style main building on the Rantakatu side was completed in 1845. Fire insurance documents of that time indicated that the colour of the house was “Terre verte” i.e. earth green.
