SAVON-RADAN Hiirola railway station - building

Below (from the bottom to the top) images about the railway station in in Hiirola are presented.

In 2017 the building has been painted

In 2017 the building has been painted after it was washed/scratched. The new outfit looks much better, even the painting process is not over. The yellow is a bit more light as the previous yellow. The details are in light gray.
At the backside the platform is an inviting place to work, sit and have meetings.

 

2014 after cutting most of the bushes around the building

In spring 2014 the community of Hiirola has started to clean-up the area around the building. Wild trees and bushes are cut and this makes an open space.

Even there is still a lot to do the surrounding in a better look and it is clear, some one takes care of this lovely building.

In next spring most of the bushes were cut and fence of the yard at the street side was lowered extremely. Now it is possible to see the elegancy of the building.

When the new owner inspected the building the first time in 2011 it looked like the castle of the sleeping Beauty. Bushes and trees all around the building. With many broken parts it was not a real inviting environment.
