Alberta Street 4, Riga
1904, Architect Civilinženieris Mihails Eizenšteins
This is clearly the most elegant and original eclectically decorative Art Nouveau building of them all. The symmetrical composition is accented by the central projection which is crowned by a metal cornice that sticks far out from the façade. The attic above the cornice has three screaming heads of the Medusa. Similar motifs can be found in the Secession Building of Joseph Maria Olbrich in Vienna.
