There were several rooms with sinks and cupboards and stuff in the school. It was a really strange place on modern school standards.
And there were also strange corners with coat racks. In fact all the rooms had some sort of corners or cupboards. None were regular.
Yet another example.
The corridor connects the main school to another wing at the back. Let’s go see if I can find my way there.
And another corner. The room just ends in a dead end with no window.
Another small cupboard with a coat rack.
So I’m back in the kitchen with the sauna stove. But this I’ve already seen.
And after a tight left turn I am in the corridor, which makes the architecture of this place even stranger. The main school has been built of bricks as has the annex up front. But this corridor is not only made of lumber, it is also cold space. There are windows, but the walls have no insulation. This has just been a way for the pupils to get through the yard from one building to the other without getting wet in rain or snow.
Because of the light construction and the large glass windows this really must have been a cold place during winters, when the temperature regularly goes down to -35 Celsius.
The facade of the main building seen through the corridor windows.
And the other side. The chimney is pretty massive.
The annex was just one long corridor.
With classrooms. Now hold on a second.
Although I am Finnish, my name is not very Finnish. That makes my initials rather rare. Yet there they are, tagged on the wall some four months before this photo was taken. This was a rather strange find.
All kinds of pointless messages here.
The floor has bubbled and burst.
The school was built in an era, when teachers used to teach from a podium.
Write about the autumn of a plantation. What a nightmarish assignment.
