Bibliotēkas nams - The Library House - at corner of Krišjāņa Barona Street and Elizabetes Street in central Riga, Latvia. June 12, 2020
Once a bank building, once a place for luxurious restaurants, newspaper, and magazine editorial offices, once a home for the National Library of Latvia. The building was built in 1910 for the needs of the Riga Craftsmen's Credit Union under the design of architect Ernests Pole. Today the Neoclassical building has taken on a new lease of life as an apartment building called the Library House.
