Fabianinkatu 17

Built in 1900–1901 to a design by the architectural firm of Gesellius, Lindgren and Saarinen, it was originally a block of flats, but became increasingly used for offices and was for many years known as the Doctors' House (Finnish: Lääkäreiden talo).

Its national romantic-Art Nouveau style pioneered indigenous Finnish residential architecture and influenced later buildings by Grahn, Hedman & Wasastjerna and Toril and Nyberg.

[1] In 1953, it was acquired by Agronomiliitto for 53 million mk—half of which was financed by the proceeds of a gift of 10,000 kg of coffee beans made to the organisation in celebration of its 50th anniversary in 1947—and its name was changed to Agronomitalo (Agronomy House).

[10] In the 1990s Helsinki city planning document, it was designated as a commercial building, but in 2013–2014 the owner commissioned a study of the feasibility of returning part of it to residential use.

[1] Residents included the surgeon Richard Faltin [fi], who lived there from 1913 to 1953;[10] in 1904; he had unsuccessfully operated on Governor-General Nikolai Bobrikov after he was shot.

[3] Commercial tenants on the ground floor have included the Nordiska Antikvariska Bokhandeln - Pohjoismainen Antikvaarinen Kirjakauppa (Nordic Antiquarian Bookshop, 1918–2001)[10] and Kellarikrouvi [fi], a restaurant (since 1964).
