'''Bruno Ferdinand Granholm''' (May 14, 1857 in [[Myrskylä]] – September 29, 1930) was a [[Finnish people|Finnish]] architect. He served as the chief architect of [[Rautatiehallitus]] (The Railroad Board) between 1892 and 1926. Many of the station buildings he designed are still in use today, having aged surprisingly well.<ref>[https://www.geni.com/people/Bruno-Ferdinand-Granholm/6000000011612191860/ Bruno Ferdinand Granholm ]</ref>

Granholm designed the station buildings for the [[Haapamäki]]–[[Jyväskylä]], [[Jyväskylä]]–[[Suolahti]], [[Helsinki]]–[[Turku]], [[Kuopio]]–[[Iisalmi]], [[Oulu]]–[[Tornio]], [[Iisalmi]]–[[Kajaani]] and [[Savonlinna]]–[[Elisenvaara]] tracks. Buildings constructed from his plans can also be found on other routes, e.g. [[Levashovo, Saint Petersburg|Levashovo]] of the [[Riihimäki-Saint Petersburg railroad]] (within [[Saint Petersburg]]).

Granholm's buildings are strongly influenced by the [[Romantic nationalism|Romantic nationalist]] concepts of the era, such as asymmetry and generous carvings, and can often be positively distinguished from the surrounding buildings.
