So~prus Cinema (Kino So~prus). The building is a striking example of Stalinist Empire style (Socialist Classicism) architecture, completed in 1955. Its grand fac,ade features a curved colonnade of octagonal columns and decorative reliefs symbolizing various arts and industries. Originally designed by architect Friedrich Wendach, the project was completed by Peeter Tarvas and August Volberg after Wendach was repressed by Soviet authorities. The name "So~prus" means "friendship" in Estonian. Some sources suggest it was named to mark improved relations between the Soviet Union and China at the time. In the 1990s, financial difficulties led to the closure of one hall, which was converted into a nightclub and casino. Today, the building houses both the cinema and the popular Club Hollywood.

Fac,ade of Pikk 18, arguably the most famous Art Nouveau building in Tallinn, known as the Dragon Gallery (Draakoni Galerii). Designed by the renowned Baltic German architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910, this building is a prime example of late Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture. The two massive, sculpted dragons flanking the ground-floor window are the building s namesake and most iconic feature. They were created by the sculptor August Volz. Above the dragons, the fac,ade features two stern female figures with Egyptian headdresses projecting from the pilasters. These, along with sphinxes and other exotic ornaments on the upper levels, reflect the eclectic and fantastical influences typical of Rosenbaum s style. The large, horseshoe-shaped window on the ground floor and the undulating gable at the top create a sense of movement and fluidity that contrasts sharply with the rigid lines of the adjacent classical and medieval buildings. Originally built as an apartment house for the merchant Reinhold Reichmann, the ground floor has housed the Draakoni Gallery since 1983, an exhibition space managed by the Estonian Artists Association. The green light visible in the window belongs to a fashion boutique or exhibition currently occupying the space. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025
Joseph A. Foster House at 307 East Texas Street, a corner of Beech Street. It was built as a Gothic Revival structure in 1878, reflecting the Victorian tastes of the era. The facade is symmetrical with a central entrance, characteristic of the Neoclassical style. The house was severely damaged by a tornado spawned by the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. Following this disaster, it was extensively remodeled into the Neoclassical (Greek Revival) style. It has been the subject of historic preservation efforts, with significant renovation projects reported around 2018. Calvert, Texas, December 13, 2025
