HIstOrIcal BuIlDIngs On BrIvIBas street In Ogre

The building on Brīvības street 4 was built in 1927. The owner of the building, Kārlis Ausbiķis, created a hotel and a restaurant named Ogre, which was managed by Anna Ausbiķe. During 1948, the Council of Workers’ Deputies and housing association’s flats were located in the building. After the World War II, the Executive Committee of Ogre District, a library, a complex of municipal enterprises, and later – a Hous-ing Authority, were all located within the building.

The building at 11 Brīvības street is an architectural monu-ment built in 1926 and designed by the architect Eduards Smurgis. The station master, Antons Pudans, the owner of the house, set up a hotel and a restaurant “Esplanāde”, while the first floor was occupied by various shops. In 1928 the building was bought by the newly elected Ogre town council. After the reconstruction by Vladimirs Shervinskis, the Ogre town council and Ogre 6-year elementary school were located there. After World War II, educational activities continued in the building. When Ogre secondary school moved to its new premises in 1960, the building was left at the disposal of Ogres secondary evening school, but since 1991 the Ogres art school has been located here. In 1998 a mental coat of arms of the town of Ogre was attached to the wall of the building in memory of time when the Ogres town council worked there.

The building at 12 Brīvības street is an architectural monu-ment built in 1901 as a residence and for trade purposes. After World War I the building was in miserable condition because its owner, Martins Pau-

citis, had emigrated to Russia. In 1929 ownership rights were obtained by anna and Veronika Paucitis. A variety of shop were placed in the building, e.g. Karlis Davidson’s colonial wares, Mile Austrian’s bakery and confec-tionary, Marija Mikelsone’s textiles and haberdashery, Elfrida Adins’ meat and sausage production, Lilija Blicavs’ hairdresser’s. After World War II the function of the building changed several times. Most Ogre inhabitants re-member it as the Ogre district police department prom forty years. After the reconstruction of the building in 1997-1998, it is now the restaurant and entertainment complex “Police Acedemy 98”

The first Ogre railway station, a one-storey stone building, was built in 1859. The structure of the station consisted of two platforms, the platforms shed, a storehouse and loading platform, a water supply tower, a wooden barrack and two water pumps for filling steam engines. Over the years the station building has been reconstructed and enlarged. During World War II it was destroyed, and the new building was built in 1947 after a standard design. The shed, built at the beginning of the 20th century on the second platform has been preserved. Its supports are made of steel rails produced in 1881-1883. The station building belongs to the state stock company “Latvijas Dzelzceļš”. In 1999-2000 extensive repair and restoration work was done to the railways station.

The first chemist’s building at 22 Brīvības street was built in 1895. The owner of this one-storey stone house was a pharmacolo-gist Arturs Flahs. After World War I only the walls of the building were

retained. The remains were bought by the pharmacologist Peteris Shi-rons and Lilija Shirons and in 1924 a new chemist’s shop was designed by Indriks Blankenburgs. In 1927 a bath house was added, and in 1933 Edgars Starkis created additional premises for trade and a kiosk. At the end of the 19th century a bathing institution was established as part of the chemist’s, which functioned until 1941. People could attend the bath house to take therapeutic bath (sulphur, conifer needles, assorted salts). In 1986 the reconstruction of the chemist’s building was started, which significantly changed both the outer appearance and the interior of the building. At present the chemists continue working in the building, even though much of the previous glamour has been lost.

The building on Brīvības street 23, where nowadays a cafe Niko and a flower shop Ortija are located, was built in 1927. The owner of the building was Mārtiņš Pūre, who lived with his family on the higher floor of the building, a bakery and a pastry shop were housed on the ground floor. The whole family worked in the bakery, each of them had their own responsibilities. Pūre’s bakery became one of the most favour-ite shopping places among inhabitants of Ogre. It was considered that the tastiest bread and the sweetest pretzels could be bought there. At the moment, the building is again owned by the son of Mārtiņš Pūre – Oļģerts, who lives in California.

The building at 32 Brīvības streets in an architectural monument designed by Vladimirs Shervinskis and built in 1926. There,

the owner, Pauls Baumanis, opened a café and a boarding house, “Ogre - kurhous”. It was a place where local musicians performed in the even-ing, and famous artists prom Riga were frequent guests. In 1930 the management of the restaurant and hotel was taken over by A. Birzulis (the manager of Mazais Vērmaņu parks) and later, in 1935 by N. Osipas. The building became the cultural and social center of the town. Various entertainments, concerts, festivities (beauty contests, press balls) took place there. After World War II the building housed a dining facility and a hotel. Prom the mid-eighties till 1993 the building was run by the applied arts and souvenir production company “Daiļrade”. at present the building is a private property.

The Ogre post office at 38 Brīvības street is an architec-tural monument. It was built in 1936 according to architect Davids Zarins design. Until that time post office was situated in small inadequate premises. The first floor of the post and telegraph office was a transaction room, the second floor – the post master’s and technician’s apartments, and the basement was used as a maintenance department. The guard’s house was located in the yard. In 1937 a modern automatic telephone exchange, produced in the famous factory VEF, was opened in Ogre. It served 150 subscribers. By 1939 the number of the subscribers had dou-bled. Over the years the building has not changed in appearance or func-tion – the Ogre post office in still located there.

The author of the idea is Linda Man-gule, the sculpture was created by the sculptor Valdis Štrāls. A miniature version of the sculpture is used as a statuette which each year is given to the best students and teachers of the school for special achievements. Ogre Music School was founded in 1960. Nowadays the school offers five programmes: keyboard instruments, stringed instruments, wind instru-ments, percussion instruments, as well as music theory and choir class.

Sisters live in modesty and poverty, endlessly praying, espe-cially for the nation in which they live. Means of subsistence are earned with handicrafts, and by baking the Hosts to congregations.
