Phoenix
Phoenix (also known as Fenix, Fenikss or Феникс) was the original name of RVR, the largest machine-building plant in Latvia. The factory produced electric and diesel trains, tramcars and even tanks.
The first tank in the world has been assembled and tested just behind this building in 1915.
The main office building is in the eclectic style and was built on Alexander Blvd in 1895.
Nowadays it is the main office of Elkor company.
