Description

In Riga the wooden architecture continued developing almost until World War II. Growth in construction of wooden buildings took place at the second part of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century when Eclecticism and Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) prevailed.

Details in dimensions and facades were typical for this time and are found around the regularly arranged windows, in gables and cornices.
Frequently amazing staircase and apartment interiors have been preserved in the wooden buildings.
