Bomanin huvila 1930- luvulla
The Boman Villa in Helsinki was Mannerheim’s rented residence from 1924 till 1951. It had been designed and built by architect A. Boman, and bought by Karl Fazer, a commercial counsellor, in 1913.
The Parliament planned to buy Mannerheim a house in honour of his 75th birthday. The Boman Villa seemed the best alternative, as Mannerheim had already resided in the house for 18 years. The Parliament donated him the house, but the Fazer family were not willing to sell it. So, Mannerheim had to live in the house as a tenant until his death. After that the house was changed into a museum, and became the property of Mannerheim Foundation in 1957.
