"Helsinki Central Station" in #Helsinki, a landmark in granite, was designed by Eliel Saarinen. Its original 1862 building was replaced after a 1904 competition; Saarinen won with a National Romantic entry but redesigned it in a more rational Finnish Art Nouveau style (with proto-Art Deco/Modernist elements). Construction began 1909, completed 1914, inaugurated 1919.
