How new Tartu department store was built 2004-2005

[echo]

This is how Tartu department store was built here in Estonia. Sad that I don't have any picture of that place when there was a flower-market and a car parking area. Before WW2 there was a big market-building, 1-storey I think (I've seen it in an old photograph).

I think I don't have such history for any other building. Fortunately the building process began in the same time I got my digicam; and secondly, that department store was right on my way to work so I had no chance not to see what's going on there :-) I had a very good chance to snapshot the whole process, because I have my camera with me everywhere I go.

Many of these views don't exist anymore, which is another reason I made the pictures then. So here it is.

But first of all two pictures of the old one which was in Tartu the main department store for... 40 years?
