The quarter between Narva street, Jõe, Ahtri and the current Parda street has a history intrinsically linked to the Radio-Electronics Factory (RET), a prominent Estonian electronics company. Architectural historian and heritage conservator Henry Kuningas notes that the area’s development is tied to RET’s operations. A notable office building, characterized by its covered facade, stands at the corner of Narva street and Jõe street. This building previously housed the temporary premises of the National Library and had served as the location for several banks prior to its current use. The project, completed in 1997, received the Culture Capital Prize and marked a significant shift in the area’s identity, reflecting the legacy of the electronics industry.
