Art Nouveau Rerun
Triangle shaped building |
I wanted to share several more Art Nouveau buildings that I've noticed in my wanderings during the last couple weeks now that the weather is getting warmer.
Details of building |
Corner tower |
Another building has a corner tower decorating it. Fancy trim is added around the windows on the upper floor as well. Art Nouveau buildings are interesting to see when out on a walk.
Built in 1900 |
This orange building was very striking as I walked past. Near the top of the corner facing, I saw Adom 1900. I will assume that it was built in 1900 by a person named Adom. The ornamentation stood out because it was painted tan against the orange surface.
It's all in the presentation. The building on the right has Greek gods and mythological creatures built into the architecture. You don't see that every day. The higher on the building, the more creative it gets.
This last building tops all the rest. It has a statue built into the side of the building and a turret also. Not too many buildings can claim both of these items.
Now you can see why I like to take adventurous walks around Riga in warm weather. There's always something interesting to see.
I know you can't join me right now, so I try to share this wonderful place with you.
