The building was built in 1819 as a school for Russian children by Catherine II. With the change of numbers in the two-century calendar, this building is the oldest wooden house in the centre of Riga. In the 1930s, the State School of Fine Arts was founded in the building, until it became the Riga School of Design and Art that we know today. The school’s courtyard is covered with gravelled paving, but the Neo-Gothic tea house is definitely the beauty of the courtyard. The ground floor is more for practical classes and has a computer room, and the first floor is more for classrooms, but the second floor is off-limits to people with reduced mobility.

The school is accessed from the courtyard through a small gate and then a ramp with the help of an assistant. There are no barriers at the entrance. There are wide aisles and no borders between rooms. There is no accessible toilet, no lift and no disabled parking.
