[4] One notable resident of the Phoenix house during this period was the renowned lichenologist Edvard August Vainio, who moved to Turku in 1922 after accepting a position at the university.

The Phoenix House became cramped, but it was not until a substantial donation in the late 1940s by gold prospector Karl Fredrik Joutsen [fi] that new premises could be acquired for the university.

[4] The buildings designed by architect Aarne Ervi were completed on Vesilinnanmäki (Ryssänmäki) in the 1950s, when the Phoenix House was left empty.

[2] The building, which was considered to be in poor condition, was eventually taken over by the insurance company Salama and demolished by blasting in 1959.

[1] Salamankulma was designed by architects Matti Hakala and Aarne Nuortila and assisted by Sakari Kauria, an architecture student.
