History of the Old VicarageDesigner of the Old Vicarage, Architect Onni Tarjanne

The designer of the Old Vicarage, Onni Alcides Törnqvist (later Tarjanne, born on the 5th of September 1864 in Virrat, died on the 23rd of May, 1946 in Helsinki) was a Finnish architect and a professor of construction engineering. His parents were Assistant Vicar Karl Gustaf Törnqvist and Karolina Gustafva Regina Schreck. Onni took a Finnish surname in 1906; he named himself Tarjanne after a lake in Virrat.

Tarjanne studied architecture in the Polytechnic Institute and complemented his education in Munich. He increased his knowledge further by taking study trips to Scandinavia and Central Europe, among others. He became a well-known architect and taught new generations of architects at various educational institutions. The most famous of his designs is the Finnish National Theatre in Helsinki.

In 1891, Tarjanne married Josefina Margareta Weijola (deceased 1942). Chancellor of Justice Toivo Tarjanne was their son.
