Development vision for the industrial quarter 16 Bauskas Street, Riga
BackHistory of the building
At 16 Bauskas Street in 1857 leather factory founded by R. Vilndenbergs was located. In 1918, it became the leather factory of JSC "Oskars Vildenbergs", which housed the first tannery factory in Latvia. In 1938, the company was added to JSC "Ādu un vilnas centrāle" – Riga Leather Factory. During World War II, the factory building was destroyed.
The tannery, leather and shoe factory "Blāzma" begun operation in the renovated building after the war. But production association "1. Maijs", founded in 1965 which existed here until 1990, brought together several other historic shoe factories under the same roof.
