"Veteran houses"

This is a typical neighborhood built in the 50's. A series of simple and economical model house designs was created by architects before and during the 2nd World War. The houses are usually built on-site by the families themselves.

The house model is usually called "Rintamamiestalo", "Veteran house", altough the original residents weren't always veterans. Most of the houses have now been renovated, some in a modern way and some in more traditional way. You can find streets like this in many towns around Finland.
