Again I was looking for something completely different. And ran across a largish building on the verge of collapse.
Ok, it did feature a loading dock and a large door. But that didn’t seem to be the original purpose of it.
The place was in a very bad shape.
The main entrance seemed like that of a public building.
Let’s go have a closer look.
A cloakroom and an old checkout. This wasn’t something that I expected.
Not one checkout. Two of them. And clearly from the same store.
An old scale. But not something, which I had seen in stores. As you can see, all kinds of things are falling from the ceiling.
The checkouts weren’t from just any store. They were from a store by the liquor monopoly Alko. So somebody has closed an Alko somewhere and brought the things here.
There seemed to be a whole lot of other things stored here, too.
The only look towards the great hall of the building. It was so full of stuff, that you couldn’t enter. And the ceiling was hanging dangerously low.
I did a lot of research on this one, and it appears, that it was the house of the local workers’ association. The building appears on maps as an association house, and there were two of them in the village. I also found an association, which matches the description.
But when it was built and when it was abandoned, I have no idea. An how it has been filled with checkouts of Alko, I am less unsure of.
The building still appears on aerial photos but no longer on terrain maps. It may be gone, it may be not.
