Art Academy of Latvia is one of those Riga buildings which looks like palaces (due to it's size and ornate facade, not a historical use). It was built in the beginning of 20th Century as a Riga Bourse commercial school. The owner wanted exactly Neo-Gothic architecture, because it would represent Riga as a historical Hanseatic city - so the prominent architect Wilhelm Bokslaff made such. Art academy started to operate in the building in 1940.
