Villa Jacoby

It is known for baroque-style windows and influences of expressionism and Estonian traditional architecture (gable roof).

[1] The home was built in 1924 by the well-known Baltic-German architect Erich Roman Ludvig Jacoby.

The architectural solution follows the conservatism of the 1920s which was greatly influenced by 17th and 18th century Baroque styles.

The architecture has several references to the Old Town of Tallinn including white-washed roof ridges and Baroque door hinges.

[2] During the Soviet Period, the building was used as communal style shared living quarters.
