The other building was in a much better shape. I suspect, that it has been a teacher apartment building, why else would a house with two apartments have been built here.
These two photos have been taken from the main road once running through the area. It has become a rose garden.
The other end of the building was inaccessible because of all the thorns. Luckily there was an entrance in this end.
This side was in a much better shape than the old school building. As they now sit on separate properties, it might just be that they haven’t been abandoned at the same time.
But it also seems, that even this place has become a storage later on.
The owner hasn’t exactly been afraid to use colors in decorating.
Definitely a storage. But also a plastic carpet has been installed. I believe renovations have been made as late as the 1970’s.
The ceiling above the oven indicates, that collapse has started even here.
This is something i didn’t expect to find. A letter stating, that somebody had tried to read the electric meter, but couldn’t get in. It is dated to 2006!
The awful state of the ceiling is better apparent from this point of view.
They emptied the fridge when they last left.
A magazine for members of the nurse union from 1997. My former colleague now is editor in chief there.
A random collection of lemonade, juice and beer bottles.
Rooftop access.
The other room was accessible from the hall. Electric heating has been used in additon to the oven. And the use of colors is again very rich.
They even cleaned before they left, it seems.
The electric meter was still on. The warning says that the main switch doesn’t interrupt the power from the meter.
Well, the main switch is off, but a light is on in the meter. It seems, like this house is still powered after all these years.
Quite the place! After we returned, food was ready. A traditional macaroni casserole and even homemade cake for dessert. As customary to rural Finland a guest, whether familiar or unknown, never leaves hungry.
