Tampere City Central Office Building

The Tampere City Central Office Building (Finnish: Tampereen keskusvirastotalo; the so-called "White House"[1]) is an office building in Tampere, Finland, located on the edge of Tampere Central Square and the city's administrative center.

It was built in two phases: the first, the southern part was completed in 1967 and the northern extension in 1975.

[2] The Central Office Building is one of the most significant representatives of modern architecture in the center of Tampere.

The light color of the façade, the strip-like windows, the street-level pillars and the partial roof terrace are typical of functionalism.

[2] The exterior of the building is almost in its original appearance, but major alterations have been made to the interior.
