The preservation of cultural heritage sites is an important task. Historical monuments are a reflection and documentary evidence of the past, information about which must be preserved and passed on to future generations. One of the most vulnerable and fragile structures in a building is the roof. This work provides historical information and presents the results of a survey of the structures of the building of engineer Moberg in the urban-type settlement of Kalevala in the Republic of Karelia of the Russian Federation. The structural system of the roof and the joint work of its elements have been studied. The expediency of preserving the structural system, shape and geometric parameters of the roof, as well as replacing the existing structures before the reconstruction with new elements from modern sawn timber has been substantiated. The cultural heritage site “House of Engineer Moberg” is an architectural monument of regional significance of the early 20th century and the main historical building of the urban-type settlement of Kalevala, built under the influence of the ideas of Finnish national romanticism. According to archival sources, the house was built in 1906 and renovated in 1925-1926 with the participation of engineer Eduard Moberg and builder Tuomas Waller. Nowadays, the building houses the ethnocultural center kalevalatalo.
