THE KIVINIEMI CORNER
There have always been skilled lace-makers in Rauma
The Kiviniemi corner was an area where many a lace-maker lived. The
plots along the winding streets were small. The people were less prosperous
and they kept several tenants. There were lace-makers among the house
owners as well as the tenants.
Wähä-Suutar, Länsikatu 12
A long-time tenant of the Wähä-Suutar house was the well
known lace-maker Karoliina Wahlberg (1851-1912). She never married
and therefore had the possibility to devote herself to lace-making.
Especially her fine pieces of corner lace called forth enthusiasm.
Karoliina Wahlbergs pieces of corner lace and their prickings
are displayed in the Old Town Hall.
