Well, well, well, what do we have in here?
This is clearly looking like a former business premises with a residential wing at the back.
With some advanced level graffiti artists having practised at the back. This is a level above badly made tags and a level belove masterpieces. Especially the one on the right.
And this is what the facade looks like. To me it seems, that this is a former petrol station with two garages and a café in the original part to the right and a later addition with more business premises and another garage to the left.
At least during the later stages of the building, the annex has sold lamps and electronics. Not just for cars, but for homes as well.
And so, moving inside. Not really sure, through which part of the building, anymore. It’s been some years.
But I guess, it’s through the newer wing to the left of the picture of the facade.
Now I’m pretty sure, that the double windows of the lamp store are to the right.
Still guessing. But the differences in level refer to my original guess.
But the signs ordered me to stop in this location, so that’s why I did it! I blame them.
Draw and guess, it says. That’s a popular game in Finland. I’m not really sure, what this represents, though.
Very old cupboards in the junction part between the new and the old sections of the building.
And a toilet with a fairly intersting wood panelling.
‘Please put the used towels in the bin, thank you’. A rather original way of asking not to throw them down the toilet, which is a rather common find in Finnish toilets.
Moving on to a small room with a counter.
So this is probably, where the office of the workshop has been located.
The phone numbers of a spare parts wholesale company. And this company actually is the same company featured in this post. It may be or it may not be, that they were supplied from the location featured behind the link.
The office behind the counter was a very small one.
The world seen through the big windows. If I figure out correctly, these are the windows of the original part of the building.
And that’s how we move to the other, original section of the building with the service bays featured in the next post.
The first house I purchased back in 2006 had that same wood paneling throughout, which drove me absolutely crazy. It was nothing more than pressed particle board that had a polymer laminate. I started tearing it out and replacing it with modern day sheetrock. When my relationship failed, my ex agreed to keep the house, which was a blessing in disguise. Great photos as usual!
The whole house? What a nightmare. No wonder you wanted to get rid of it.
Yes the ENTIRE HOUSE. What can I say, the place was very affordable. lol
I can see why 😀
