There are several abandoned factory buildings in Santalahti that currently serve as graffiti galleries. OTK's old match factory will be repaired and it will have a kindergarten.[1] The area has also been rebuilt as a home for thousands of residents.[2][3] Santalahti has once been one of the railway stops for the Tampere-Seinäjoki railway. Designed by architect Bruno Granholm and completed in 1907, the site was demolished after the site was closed in the 1970s.[4]
