Indeed - your main picture here, it looks so strange: such a large "tower" only because of a watch. The dimension I didn't imagine in the pics before (50 images ...)

Architecture is strange, sometimes! =D

Today the tower also works as a link tower, but when it was built in 1937, it's main purposes were to literary provide a landmark (easy to find the train station), work as a clock tower, and space for advertisements.

I hope the following page opens for you:

It is in Finnish, local newspaper article, but there are great comparison images on it.

Yes, I've seen the article in the link and I only understood "Arkkitehtikilpailu", but the comparison pictures are great! :-)

I am glad it seem to be accessible to public. Most of the local Aamulehti newspaper articles requires a paid subscription.

Those are absolutely wonderful comparison images! =)
