Morkku, Historical railway workers association house in Tammela district, Tampere, Finland

The wooden building features four rooms, a stage, and a festival hall designed by chief architect Bruno Granholm of the railway administration.

The house was built through collective voluntary work in 1907 and funded by railway workers' collections to serve as their community center.

The building served as a venue for concerts, dances, theater performances, and housed a railway workers' library, sports club, and choir activities.

The structure underwent multiple expansions, including basement additions in 1949-1951 and a seven-meter extension for a new stage area.

After serving railway workers, the building became a cultural space hosting band rehearsals and theater productions until its closure in 2009.
