Cats' House Building,

there is little different story about this house, from "Riga in Your pocket":
"The Cat House is named for two black felines perched on the points of its towers. Not only did the beasts curse their first sculptor, he fatally fell while putting them up, but their purpose was to cause trouble. Roughly 100 years ago, the Latvian owner of the building was excluded from the powerful Big Guild across the road by its ethnocentric German occupants. He ordered the cats to be turned around, backside up, as an insult to his enemies. They were turned around after a lengthy court battle and he was eventually admitted to the Guild."
I personally do think, this building are great looking and still attract Riga guests attention with paint and shape and with popular cafe shop "Black cat" which can be found there in ground floor. :)
