The attic room was used

The attic room was used as a studio by the artist Taisto Karvinen, a visual arts teacher at the comprehensive school. From 1974 onwards, Hildur housed the municipal office offices while the new municipal office was being built, and after that the community college continued to operate in the premises. Naturally, the building had been renovated to suit its new uses. In 1995, extensive renovation work was carried out, in which the interior of the building was restored to its appearance at the beginning of the century. Since then, the building has housed the office of the Leader association.

The history of Hildur is part of the history of the municipal administration and part of the development of the medical institution, but it has also had its own important local significance with its own small historical side stories. Hildur was associated with the magic of being a house for girls. The doctor families who lived there had no sons, only girls, overseas data while living in the house. History also reveals pioneers, for example, many famous doctors who lived in the house and have made a name for themselves in their own fields. The college in Hildur, Juva, was also among the first in the field of community colleges, as was the Leader office when the first Leader projects were initiated. Pioneering work has therefore been done in Hildur on many fronts. And we should not forget the most famous person in the house, Dr. Hildur Nuutinen, whose skillful hands created home textiles, transformed a barren plot into a blooming garden, and many delicacies were prepared at the kitchen stove from home-grown ingredients.

Today, the Hildur building brings a layered look to the streetscape of Juva, in the middle of an otherwise somewhat monotonous urban settlement. At the time of construction, it was certainly like a breath of fresh air from the new architectural trends that the architect who designed it had experienced in England and Scotland. Today, Hilduri is a reminder of the past, a wooden church village from which hardly any other buildings have survived.
