Sörnäisten Kruununmakasiini, Crown granary in Hermanninmäki, Helsinki, Finland.

The three-story brick building stands along Hämeentie street, featuring solid walls and minimal windows in its architectural design.

Built in 1892 by architect Hjalmar Åberg, this granary served as a storage facility for grain taxes until 1925 during Russian rule.

The structure represents Finland's transition from agricultural taxation to modern governance, marking a significant period in Helsinki's development.

The empty building stands at the intersection of Hämeentie and Lautatarhankatu streets, accessible through Helsinki's public transportation network.

Between 1926 and 1960, the granary transformed into a state penitentiary before becoming a government procurement center until 1981.
