6. Let's go back to nowhere-special

This page contains some old pictures from the factory's active era.

The mill was back then called "Tampereen Höyrypuuseppä OY", which means "(Tampere)steam carpenter". Visuvesi OY bought the factory after it got into financial trouble so the name was changed then. These pictures are from Visuvesi OY company history book. They're shot somewhere in 1930's-1950's.

Serie production of doors in the ground floor big hall.

In the eastern side of the ground floor's main hall, furniture production.

Emil Lahtinen the manager of Visuvesi OY on a control trip to the factory. The wooden constructions have vanished totally, but railroad and the tile building exist still today.

This part of the yard is nowadays more like a jungle than a dispatch station. The doors lead to the hall with rusty doors and whole lot of graffiti that has been photographed to the expedition pages. This is eastern side of the building.

This is a nowadays vanished outdoor storage after a small fire in 1943. A worker had attempted to peek into a varnish barrel and lighted a matchstick, which caused an explosion and his death. So it goes...

Picture from early 1930's, door painting in the construction section of the factory. This is probably the second floor.

Finishing some furniture on ground floor, furnishing section. Early 1930's.

Late 1930's picture of the area is totally different from what it is today. The lumber storages of wood have vanished since. The dock has vanished. The buildings that have the small round chimney in the background have been demolished, there are residental houses now. It also looks like the lake Näsijärvi was closer to the buildings then than what it is today??

These lumber storages are now history, on this place grows dense woods. The old building that can be seen in the background with the small Höyrypuuseppä logo on roof is originally a building of a brewery. When it moved away from this place, Höyrypuuseppä moved in. On that place goes a road now, and next to it appartment houses.

Workers of the factory in early 1930's, when the factory was going through tough times. Only about 40 workers those days. Below, the same corner today. It looks like they've built a new storey after the old picture was taken.
