A facade drawing showing a low, simple toilet building. ‘Granite’ is written on the plinth, ‘plaster’ on the wall and ‘concrete’ on the roof.
Identical toilets were built in Vaasanpuistikko, Kaivopuisto and Tehtaanpuisto. The picture shows the facade drawing for the Vaasanpuistikko toilet by Uno Moberg. The white-plastered toilet was demol-ished to make room for the Sörnäinen metro station.
