Domus Litonii, Commercial building in Kluuvi, Finland
Domus Litonii stands three stories tall at Aleksanterinkatu 50, featuring a main building and a lower bazaar wing designed in the Empire architectural style.
Master draper Jonas Litonius commissioned the construction in 1847, making it the only remaining 19th-century residential building in central Helsinki still owned by its original family.
The Technical Real School of Helsinki, which later became the Helsinki University of Technology, operated within the building from 1848 to 1877.
The structure contains multiple commercial spaces, offices, and residential areas across its three floors, with a basement featuring 13 vaulted storage rooms.
The building incorporated advanced infrastructure for its time, including a water system drawing from an internal well before municipal connections were established.
