CITY IN YELLOW
CITY IN YELLOW
Yellow has been one of the most popular colours in the municipal buildings of Turku from decade to decade. The windows and the Ionic columns in the centre of the poster are to be found in the Hjelt House situated by the Old Town Square of Turku. It was built in 1830 and its architecture represents pure Empire style of St. Petersburg. Nowadays the building is used as the Baltic Sea House. The picture up in the middle section is the so called Säve-house situated opposite the Turku Cathedral. Säve-house was built at the beginning of the 1800s and it was used among other things as the Turku Girl School and the Finnish Continuing School. Nowadays it hosts the Institute for Human Rights of Åbo Academy.
The Neo Renaissance Palace in the picture in the upper left-hand corner can be found at Kauppiaskatu 1A. The tower on the right belongs to a two-storey Jugend house, which was planned in 1911 by a building engineer called Adrian Thomander. Many of the grand, public buildings in Turku are festive yellow. By the marketplace there is the Orthodox Church that was completed in 1845 and it was designed by architect C. L. Engel. The long line of windows and the curved entrance on the left are part of the Neoclassical Academy House of Turku, which was inaugurated in 1817. This building beside the Turku Cathedral was luckily saved in the Turku fire in 1827. The two lines of windows in the left-hand bottom corner of the poster belong to the Volunteer Fire Brigade House which is one of the most decorative buildings in Turku. It was designed by architect Karl Viktor Reinius and it was finished in 1892 to its Neoclassical glory.
The three horizontal windows in the bottom corner on the right belong to the classic yellow building in Läntinen Rantakatu. It was designed in 1829 by Charles Bassi, who had it built to a commercial Counsellor, Christian Trapp soon after the big fire in Turku. The wall sign in the building reads that it hosted a private Heurlin´s girl school towards the end of the 1800s. This historical, yellow building was meant to be demolished in the 1960s, but it was miraculously saved and now it serves as Café Art. The round window on the right is one of the most spectacular windows in Turku. You can find it in the corner of Kauppiaskatu and the Market Place and it is part of the old Jugend-style annex of Hotel Hamburger Börs. City of Turku, Finland, 800 years in 2029.
