Anno 1902 : Tenement house at corner of Dzirnavu Street and Krišjāņa Valdemāra Street in city core of Riga, Latvia. March 22, 2025
Architect Karl Johan Felsko (1844—1918). The facade of this building is one of the best, most artistically expressive and most characteristic works of Karl Felsko's creative work. The perfectly composed and proportioned façade decoration uses not only a wide range of architectural elements, but also a rich sculptural decor. There are sculptures, reliefs, atlases, masks and various plastic ornaments - just like in a sculpture exhibition. At the same time, there is a sense of harmony and integrity everywhere, which is ensured by a high artistic tact and taste. The author of the sculptures is August Folz (1851 – 1926), who was one of the most important masters of decorative sculpture in Riga.
