Restaurant, the Esplanade Chapel, the Esplanade, Helsinki

NOTES: The original restaurant was a refreshment booth which opened on the Esplanade in 1839. The original cross-shape (hence the name Chapel) was conceived by Dalstrom who designed the restaurant in 1867 as a wooden structure with a tall central arcade flanked by lower wings. In 1891 the restaurant was enlarged and the wooden structure replaced by iron and glass, to designs by the architect Bruno F. Granholm. It was extensively renovated and restored to its 1891 incarnation in 1976 by Aino and Pekka Laurila.
