The history of the area between Narva, Maantee, Jõe, Ahtri and the current Parda Street is closely linked to that of RET, or the Radio-Electronics Factory, one of Estonia’s leading electronics manufacturers. Architect and heritage conservationist Henry Kuningas writes that this is part of the 1997 rebirth of the electronics industry, which earned the building a cultural capital year award. Located on the corner of Narva Maantee and Jõe Street in Tallinn’s city center, the building features a striking facade covered in a mesh network. It previously served as temporary space for the National Library before housing several banks.
