Karl Johann Felsko (Latvian: Karlis Johans Felsko; 18 May [O.S.
6] 1844 — 1919) was an architect and son of chief architect of Riga Johann Daniel Felsko.
He was one of the leading architects during the building boom in Riga in the late 19th and early 20th century.
There were more than 115 multi-story apartment and public buildings, factories and other buildings built following his designs.
He was a master of Eclecticism style.
His work, primarily seen in apartment buildings in Riga, included carefully placed filigree elements of order, cornices, pediments, garlands, cartouches, herms and more.
His productivity decreased a great deal at the beginning of the 20th century with the introduction of Art Nouveau.
