The end of Nikolainkatu in 1908

Nikolainkatu (= Snellmaninkatu) 16 and 18. There is a low wooden house in the foreground and new stone houses behind it. A man is driving a horse-drawn carriage on the cobbled street.
The Department of Physiology, designed by architect Gustaf Nyström and completed in 1905 (Siltavuorenpenger 20 J) can be seen to the right. The brick building behind the horse-drawn carriage was a Swedish-speaking primary school. The drawings were signed by architect Onni Törnqvist (later Tarjanne), and they do not depict any water closets, but outdoor toilets. The building was completed in 1899. The tram tracks turn onto what is now Liisankatu.
