The exploration upstairs continues with a look of the ceiling, and well. Isn’t this the renovation they were supposed to conduct back in 2002?
In fact it looks like the entire second floor had been stripped of most of stuff but never fixed. There’s just a cold attic behind the door to the right. It’s above the ballroom.
And it wasn’t a very inviting space, as it was full of thrashed furniture and other debris.
The upstairs was just really a junkyard, which had never been completed.
And this theme really went on throughout the area apart from the front side right above the stairs.
So let’s move back there. It seems, that at least some sort of a kitchen has been present.
Now this looks like a fairly interesting room.
It wouldn’t open.
The end of the second floor, which indeed doesn’t look very solid.
But this was a major surprise. I tred to figure out, which part of the downstairs this was, but simply couldn’t. And I thought, that I had thoroughly explored it.
The space at the top of the stairs seen from the other direction.
The important reminder next to the window I entered through: ‘Clean up after yourself, your mother is not here.’
The main entrance with all kinds of warnings and a bulletin about the ban to use the building issued by the municipality.
One more view from the side not featured earlier. The strange, dark room is behind the wall downstairs.
And the final look from the front yard.
Some two months later the municipality made an offer to purchase the lot and the house from the association. They agreed. Youth associations are a very common thing in Finland, but they are no longer youth. They struggle with a decreasing amount of members and large buildings, which they can’t keep up anymore.
So the municipality bought the lot and started planning a new health care center on it. The old building was demolished early in 2023. I had kept an eye on it for more than 10 years and managed to take my last chance to photograph it.
