Tallinn Adventist Church

The Adventist church at Mere puiestee 3 in Tallinn, designed by Erich Jacoby and finished in 1923, is one of the most expressive examples of 1920s traditionalism in Estonia. The heavy building has a high tiled roof and bold cornice, and its gable carries a corbelled turret with a dormer and a Bavarian-style cupola; buttresses alternate with low arched windows along the sides. Inside, a curved wooden ceiling covers a wide, low hall, and the original painted gallery balustrade survives. From 1950 until 2000 the Methodists, too, worshipped here.

Tallinnas Mere puiestee 3 asuv adventkirik, mille projekteeris Erich Jacoby ja mis valmis 1923. aastal, on üks ilmekamaid 1920. aastate traditsionalismi näiteid Eestis. Raskepärasel hoonel on kõrge kivikatus ja jõuline karniis ning otsaseinal ärkli ja baieripärase kiivriga konsooltorn; külgseintel vahelduvad tugipiilarid madalate kaarakendega. Laia ja madalat siseruumi katab kumer puitlagi ning säilinud on algne ornamendimaalinguga rõdupiire. 1950. aastast kuni 2000. aastani kasutasid kirikut ka metodistid.
