This here is a former elementary school of a small, rural town. Apparently designed by architect Eino Pitkänen, who is famous for designing half of the town of Kajaani, and completed in 1949. School use ended in 2011 and all other use in 2021.
The story is again familiar. The local activists want to preserve the school and give it protection status, the town opposes because of the building’s bad condition.
The school is not on the list of buildings to be demolished but the mayor has stated in 2021, that it will be demolished. There is no official decision about it.
The local activists made a petition to have the building protected by law. It didn’t go through so the building is waiting.
Let me get this straight: Demolishing this beauty would be sheer idiocracy.
