Tilkka

[1] Tilkka military hospital was founded in 1918 and moved to Pikku Huopalahti in 1936[2] when the new nine-storey Functionalist building designed by architect Olavi Sortta was completed.

[3] The building's distinctive mark are the semi-circular balconies, facing south around the main stairway.

The expansion was also designed by Sortta and the enlargement followed the space division of the original 1930s building.

[4] The State of Finland sold the building to pension insurance company Etera for 8.8 million euros in October 2006[5] after which it was renovated into an elderly nursing home.

[7] The building is protected by a 2002 zoning ordinance and cannot be torn down or altered in a way that damages its cultural historical value.
