    Construction works of the House with Lion Heads were started in 1908, presumably according to design by an architect from Riga.

    The four frontal mascaron ornaments of lion heads that are most probably of German origin and have preserved in their original shape have given name to the building. The house belonged to the Goertz family.

    In this building, there were workrooms and apartments for several physicians in the first half of last century. In the beginning of the 1900s, Ernst and Kadri Murrik, parents of the famous Estonian- born Finnish writer Hella Wuolijoki, lived in this house.
