Cat House Riga. The building was owned by a wealthy Latvian trader who out of bitter resentment for not being admitted to the Great Guild put cat figures bearing expressive postures on. The Cat House is named for two black felines perched on the points of its towers.
For some reason the man who owned the house built in 1909 was refused membership in the local tradesmans guild called the Great Guild.
