In 1908, it was decided in Juva that a residential building with the necessary outdoor rooms, saunas, wells, barns and cellars would be built on a plot of land purchased from the parish. The drawings for the office building were drawn up by Otto Ferdinand Holm, architect of the General Board of Public Buildings and supervisor of the Oulu County Building Office. The building was Art Nouveau in style and featured typical features of the time in the freely composed facade, bay window, small-paned windows, shaped roof and beveled gables. The building had reception facilities, i.e. a waiting room and a reception room, and an apartment for the municipal doctor.

The living quarters included a dining room, a hall, a children's room, a bedroom, a hall, a main entrance with a portico, a porch, a maid's room and a kitchen with its own entrance. In addition, there was an uninsulated room in the attic. There was a bay window in the hall and there was also a door to the porch, from which stairs led down to the garden. Below the porch overseas data was a cellar. The final inspection of the building was carried out at the end of November 1909 and from then on it served as a doctor's residence until the early 1970s.

The first municipal doctor to live in the official building was Laimi Leidenius (1877–1938) and he worked in Juva from 1909–1910. After leaving Juva, Leidenius worked in the maternity ward of Helsinki General Hospital and defended her doctorate in 1913. She became a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology and was appointed as an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Helsinki in 1925. In 1930, Leidenius was appointed professor and became the first female professor of medicine at the University of Helsinki and also in the Nordic countries. The large fir trees on Hildur's plot were planted by Leidenius.
