HISTORY OF THE BUILDING

Architects Heinrihs Šēls, Fridrihs Šefels

Detmann owned this decorative Art Nouveau building. It was built in the style of Eclecticism, but with decorative elements of Art Nouveau. Different materials of various colours were used in the façade. The symmetrical façade is accented with a bay window that has balconies on either side. The entrance portal is accented with sculptures and mascarons. The pilasters at the corner of the building turn into expressive sculptures of a female and a male figure. Art Nouveau metal carvings decorate the windows of the two lower floors, and more can be found on the roof of the building.
