Puutorin Vessa

[1] The circular building sits on the Puutori square, and it once served as a public restroom, hence the pun.

The building was completed in 1933 and it was designed by Totti Sora to serve as the weigh house for the bus station operating at the square.

Markku Heikkilä and Kaija Väisänen renovated the building and it became a restaurant under the name "Puutorin Vessa".

The restaurant declared bankruptcy in 2014, when it was taken over by Tim Glogan, who opened it as the WaterLoo Pub.

[2] At the end of 2018, Tim Glogan sold the business to Kenneth Forsström, owner of the Merihelmi Pub Boat on the River Aura.
