I just found an article in the Finnish language newspaper Helsingin Sanomat
about the dispute in the city of Helsinki regarding to whether it's OK to build
elevators in the old artistically/historically significant residential buildings, thus
potentially compromising the integrity of the original design. It prompted me to
check if I can find examples on the net of these staircases that might be
compromised. I got to the site for Architectural Heritage of Finland
(www.rakennusperinto.fi - it's all in Finnish), which features important historical
staircases in Helsinki. It is quite awkward to navigate, so I decided to present my
favourites here in my blog. Most of these are more than 100 years old. This is
instalment #1:
