Main post office

Postitalo/Pääposti/Huvudposten

Across Mannerheimintie from Lasipalatsi is Helsinki's former main post office, designed by Jorma Järvi, Erik Lindroos and Kaarlo Borg and finished in 1938. However, it hasn't been the main post building since the late 1990s, but houses a number of shops, but the building is still protected as a valuable historical building (just like most buildings on this list).
