These magnificent buildings on North Beach in the Kruununhaka neighborhood have a commanding view of the North Harbor. From left to right they are: the Standertskjöld house (1885) and the Bäck’s house (1882). Both were designed by Theodor Höijer. He was a prominent Finnish architect who favored the Neo-Renaissance style. The next several homes, all built from 1885 through 1929 by different architects, have a Classicism, Art Nouveau or Neo-Renaissance design.
