Sketch for the Nõmme Property Maintenance Association building

The Nõmme Property Maintenance Association had a strong community effect and played an important part in Nõmme receiving town privileges in 1926. The association (founded in 1908), which brought together local entrepreneurs and house owners, was constantly growing and therefore needed to reconstruct its building located on Õie Street. The extension with a spacious assembly room was made by the soon-to-be city architect Robert Natus. The sketches shown here illustrate the first stage of the project. In 1994, Mart Kalm handed over the archive of Robert Natus to the museum. From this collection of drawings and documents, personal fund no. 17 was created, which includes 80 items. It contains many projects related to Nõmme, such as the design of the Nõmme market building. Text: Sandra Mälk
