The Tupa's porch.
Porch scene at the Finnish Folk Art Museum on the Pasadena Museum of History grounds. Once a Swiss-chalet style garage, the building was originally designed in 1910 as part of the Wigmore Estate. In 1949, a Finnish consul moved the structure to what was then the Finnish consulate and refurbished it as a sauna and guesthouse in his country’s tradition. It’s certainly one of Pasadena’s most “unique” buildings and, according to its official web page, the only museum of its kind in the entire U.S. Unfortunately, however, the porch, exterior and a little looksie through the windows is all you can see right now. The museum is currently closed for repairs.
