Some Helsinki architecture

Stockmann department store

This is the Finnish equivalent of Macy’s Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan — the main branch of the Stockmann department store. Stockmann occupies this entire building, a truncated triangle in shape, and historically also occupied some of the surrounding buildings as well. The main shopping street of Aleksanterinkatu heads off to the east at left, towards Senate Square; Mannerheimintie runs north-south at right.
