Koivunen home on Kirkkotie
Kuusamon kaupunki
The first residence of the Koivunen family was located on Kätilönmutka, from which the family moved through Lopotin mutka to a house built by father Kaarlo on Kirkkotie road. The neighbouring church was immortalized on a watercolour painting by Lahja Koivunen in 1924.
The years following the second World War were difficult. Everything had to be started anew. The Koivunen family built a cottage in Tolpanniemi and later a new home by Kirkkotie road, where a flower shop and a library of brother Pellervo was opened. Out of the works done by Lahja in the 1940's only a few have survived; it is likely that her energy went towards rebuilding and the new beginning. There was a constant shortage of painting tools. The surviving tools are mostly sketches.
