Some Helsinki architecture

North end of Snellmaninkatu

We’re in the university district here, at the corner of Snellmaninkatu and Yrjö-Koskisen katu looking north towards the end of Snellmaninkatu. The tram tracks here turn left (west) onto Liisankatu, but Snellmaninkatu continues one more block to end at Siltavuorenpenger (“Mountain bridge embankment”, whatever that means). The building at the end of the street belongs to Helsinki University; on the front it says “Institutum Physiologicum” but I don’t know what it’s used for today — my Google searches suggest that it’s part of the Faculty of Educational Sciences.
