The dressing room was large, but featured lots of lockers. It was important to wash hands, it seems. What is a baby doll doing in the sink of a nursing home? “It’s nice to be a pig”. Well, we all have opinions. A toilet. I believe that this has been the common kitchen of theContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part X”

I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IX
The staff apartment corridor. And yeah, those really do look like apartment doors. For some reason their last use has had something to do with the wards in the newer wings of the house. The story goes on in here. So a storage room with seasonal decorations it is. A coat of arms. Always whenContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IX”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part VI
The next place to explore was the kitchen. The funny thing was, that it was located pretty far away from what I believe was the dining room, which was on the opposide site of the building. The kitchen was facing the front yard and the large cow shed. Back when the place was built, municipalContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part VI”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part V
And so I’ve reached the corridor between the 1954 built part and the 1980 built part. The old part is up front. The corridor led straight into a small lobby. So we’re starting with showers? Interesting. “Don’t leave useless stuff on the shelf”, says the cat. The room to the other direction looked a bitContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part V”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IV
Now moving on to Annintupa. Obviously this ward was for women. This ward was by far the largest so far. The purpose of this room was a bit unclear. A closer look at the paintings. I think these are oats. The first one of the patient rooms. It was as if the patient just leftContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IV”
In Good Care Part V
The following morning I had breakfast with my friend’s family the long way. We sat in the morning sun on the terrace with no horry having coffee. But eventually it was time to head towards new adventures. This was my first photo, because here I noticed the first difference since my previous visit. Massive pilesContinue reading “In Good Care Part V”
The Oldest Was The Most Lasting
Another familiar looking sight: an old municipal home enlarged and turned into a nursing home, when a nearby mental asylum was completed and the mentally ill were moved there. As the area is full of active social and health care buildings, we start our tour from the back. The old part built in 1953 wasContinue reading “The Oldest Was The Most Lasting”
The Sleigh Rides Are Over
Back in February 2015 I was again covering winter holidays at a regional newspaper, when my boss asked me to cover an event. The inhabitants of a nursing home for old people had asked to be able to get a sleigh ride for one more time. So the nursing home arranged the event. The 40Continue reading “The Sleigh Rides Are Over”
A Midsummer Date Part XIX
I regularly Google all kinds of things related to demolition. That’s how I’ve found a lot of locations. One of the biggest gold mines I found, was the property strategy of a small, rural municipality. There was a list of everything they would sell and demolish during the future years. The list was so long,Continue reading “A Midsummer Date Part XIX”
Miksi ovet ei aukene meille?
What is this? A Finnish title? Why? Well, that is actually the title of a Finnish Romani Song. A direct translation of the beginning of its lyrics would be something like “Why won’t the doors open for us, is our race to blame for this?” When I started writing this post, the song started playingContinue reading “Miksi ovet ei aukene meille?”
