Northern Star #2

Remember my earlier post about the Star of David featured in Helsinki architecture?

Today, I came across with another example on Pursimiehenkatu street! I wonder what is the history behind this building? It has worked for over 130 years as emergency housing for those in need, but I can't find any facts on the architecture or why these stars are decorating the facade of the building...

Jewish symbolism in Helsinki architecture. I wonder how many I can find...?
