Palanderin Talo

Keskustori 7, Tampere, Finland

 

Public prosecutor Verner Palander had this building erected on a magnificent site on the southern side of the Central Square. The original design for the building was made by architect Birger Federley, who later had to change the floral ornaments to comply with the Finnish National Romantic style (depicting Finnish fauna). Palander and Federley eventually disagreed about the design of the building, and so Palander hired building contractor Vihtori Heikkilalta finish the job. Heikkila hanged the original, symmetric fae by elevating the western tower. This side of the building was completed in 1905. The beautiful plaster ornaments were designed by German artist Willy Baer, who also designed the lead-glass windows in the main stairwell. Unfortunately the panes were later destroyed, and their remains are now held in Tampere City Museum.
