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”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part III
The first thing in this section of the building was a lobby like space. Next was a small kitchen. I wonder, whether it was for staff or patients. Just guessing. But I wonder, could this have been the main dining room of the facility. It was by far the largest open space so far. ThereContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part III”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part II
“Welcome to Paavo’s cabin”, the sign says. This has probably been a ward for men. I wonder why they have left all these behind. They’re rather expensive. Paavo’s cabin was a full scale mess. Audiobooks from a time before audiobooks were cool. Old furniture. An interesting installation. I have no idea what this has been.Continue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part II”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part I
The small one day road trip with my friends continued. They told me about a new café in a beautifully renovated old mansion, which they wanted to visit. I agreed. But only after reaching its yard I realized, that it would have been our next location anyway. The mansion in question was an old farmContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part I”
Found The Wrong Store
The third location of the day was again one I had found through train windows. It was a former village store with such a bush growing in front of it, that it was only visible to the railroad during wintertime. Imagine my surprise, when I approached through the back, and noticed, that the building wasContinue reading “Found The Wrong Store”
The Tip Paid Off
The following location was a tip from a friend. They had told me about an ordinary one family house located in a good spot between the main city in the area and the suburbs. I didn’t know what to expect, so we headed towards the unknown. And there it was. The color choice and theContinue reading “The Tip Paid Off”
