Norrmén house, Renaissance Revival revenue house in Katajanokka, Finland.
The red brick Norrmén house exhibits four floors with classical elements, facing the Uspenski Cathedral across the street in central Helsinki.
Architect Theodor Höijer designed this residential building for Alfred Norrmén, the chairman of Helsinki city council, completing construction in 1897.
The Eastern Emigrants Club operated within the building from 1897 to 1944, followed by the Allied Commission establishing its presence there.
The structure contained large apartments on the top floor for wealthy residents, while smaller units on lower levels housed service personnel.
The 1960 demolition of Norrmén house for the Stora Enso headquarters sparked discussions about recreating the original building in its place.
