[EN] The wooden house district of ??Port Arthur (Portsa) is well preserved and there you can find special details about both the buildings and the gates. This gate at Korkeavuorenkatu 9 resembles a big-eyed owl. It is cleverly made of round shapes. The gate is between two different houses. It has stone pillars engraved with the address number nine. The gate has white interior trees and brownish beams and edges. The gate is so narrow that you cannot drive through it with a car.
Private area! Please do not open the gate without permission.


[FIN] Portsan puutaloalue on hyvin säilynyt ja sieltä löytää erikoisia yksityiskohtia niin rakennuksista kuin porteista. Tämä Korkeavuorenkatu 9:ssä oleva portti muistuttaa isosilmäistä pöllöä. Se on taitavasti tehty pyöreistä muodoista. Portti on kahden eri talon välissä olevalla tontilla. Siinä on kivitolpat joihin on kaiverrettu osoitenumero yhdeksän. Portissa on valkoiset sisäpuut ja ruskeahkot tukipuut ja reunat. Portti on niin kapea, ettei sen lävitse pysty ajamaan autolla.
Yksityisaluetta! Ethän avaa porttia ilman lupaa.
