Kurpitsatalo, a more-than-100-year-old wooden house in Tahmela bought for 33,000 marks and once used as a neighbourhood communal space, has been placed under a usage ban and now stands empty and used for storage.

Bought for 33,000 marks and once Tahmela’s communal living room, the over-100-year-old wooden house known as Kurpitsatalo now stands empty and is used for storage, after being placed under a usage ban, Tamperelainen's reports. The house is no longer available for community use.

Perched beside a lush vegetable garden, it has long been a local meeting spot and a neighbourhood landmark. Photographs accompanying Tamperelainen's story show the building next to the green plot. The piece gives no explanation for the ban or any details of what comes next.
