Veski 13 elamu

Baltisaksa korporatsiooni Livonia konvendihoone valmis 1893. aastal. Teise maailmasõja ajal oli see esialgu sõjaväe käsutuses, ent 1944. aasta sügisel anti see ajutiselt Kehalise Kasvatuse Instituudile. Maja seati oma jõududega korda ja sellesse ehitati õpperuumid. Lisaks majutati siia paarkümmend üliõpilast. Kõrvalolevas sõjaväebarakis elasid Eesti laskurkorpuse tagavarapolgu orkestri poisid, nende seas Raimond Valgre ja Arved Haug. 1946. aastal kohandati kogu hoone meestudengite internaadiks ja aasta hiljem anti see üle metsandusteaduskonnale. Eesti Põllumajanduse Akadeemia sai hoone valdajaks 1951. aastal pärast eraldumist Tartu Ülikoolist. Hiljem Eesti Maaülikooli vana keemiamajana tuntud hoone müüdi 2010. aastal erakätesse.
Ajaloolane Hillar Palamets on meenutanud, kuidas tal tuli tudengipõlves 1947. aastal ajutise abinõuna enne uude internaati kolimist koos kaaslastega samas majas eluruumi vahetada:
„Meeleolu vajus õige madalale, kuid otsustasime olla optimistid ja loota, et vast jäetakse meid siiski vanasse tuppa elama. Laupäev purustas needki haprad lootused. Kõrvalruumidesse hakati tassima metsandusteaduskonna dekanaadi kirjutuslaudu, meil aga kästi plats kiiremas korras puhtaks teha […]. Ei jäänud muud üle, kui tirida oma voodid kõrvalolevasse katusealusesse – Hortensiasse. Sinna suunati poisse teistestki tubadest, nii et lõpuks seisis voodi voodi kõrval ja oli tegu, et oma asemeni jõuda. Põranda aset täitis liivatatud laepealne, lae aset längus plekk-katus. Väike ümmargune pööninguaken andis hädapärast valgust.“

Veski 13 house

This house for the Baltic-German fraternity Livonia was built in 1893. During the Second World War, the building was initially held by the military. During the autumn of 1944, it was temporarily granted to the Institute of Physical Education, which fixed up the building and equipped it with study rooms. The building was also home to a few dozen students. The military barracks next door housed the Estonian Rifle Corps Reserve Battalion Orchestra boys, including Raimond Valgre and Arved Haug. In 1946, the entire building was retrofitted as housing for male students. A year later, it was granted to the Department of Forestry. The Estonian Agricultural Academy took over the building in 1951 when it broke away from the University of Tartu. The building, later known as the old chemistry building of the Estonian University of Life Sciences, was sold to the private sector in 2010.
Historian Hillar Palamets says of his student days in 1947, when he and his friends changed rooms in the same building as a temporary solution before moving to a new dormitory, “Everyone felt quite low, but we decided to be optimistic and hope that maybe they’d let us stay in our old rooms. One particular Saturday crushed those hopes. They started carrying the desks meant for the Dean of the Forestry Department’s office into the other rooms. We were told to clear out as quickly as possible […]. We had no choice but to move our beds to the attic room, known as Hortensia. Other boys had been told to move their stuff there, too. In the end, all the beds were rammed up against one another. It was quite a feat getting to your own! The floor was sand-covered attic flooring. The roof was angled tin. The little round window barely let in any light.”
