Maison Ruuskanen, Neo-Renaissance building in Kyttälä, Finland
The Maison Ruuskanen stands at Hämeenkatu 14 with a main Neo-Renaissance structure and later functionalist extensions on the Pellavatehtaankatu side of the building.
Merchant Kaarlo Ruuskanen commissioned the building in 1892, with architect Lambert Petterson designing it based on a photograph taken during Ruuskanen's Italian honeymoon.
The building underwent modifications in 1941 when an additional floor was added to the Hämeenkatu facade, followed by a 1942 extension for Ruuskanen's clothing factory.
The structure contains residential units across multiple floors and includes commercial spaces at street level, with a designated protection status ensuring its preservation.
During the Winter War, the building sustained bomb damage, leading to restoration work that incorporated both the original Neo-Renaissance style and functionalist elements.
