Some Helsinki architecture

Vironkatu 5

Moving down the street a bit, the green building with the balconies is Vironkatu 5 — I’m guessing from the exterior details that it was built in the 1920s or 1930s. Thanks to the Helsinki City Museum, I now know that the building was originally built in 1857, but the current façade dates to a 1935 renovation project under architect Matti Finell.
