Joensuu City Hall

The Joensuu City Hall (Finnish: Joensuun kaupungintalo) is a brick building in the center of Joensuu, Finland, designed by Eliel Saarinen and completed in 1914, combining styles of Romantic Nationalism and late Art Nouveau.

[1] After its completion on November 14, 1914, the new city hall corresponded quite closely to Saarinen's drawings, especially from its facades.

[1] The fire originated on the stage of the city theater and spread to the attic and tower of the ballroom.

The buildings archives were successfully evacuated, but the seats attached to the floor in the theatre remained in place.

[1] The terrace of the theater restaurant in the city hall is a popular venue for jazz and other club-type concerts.
