Majolikahaus (Majolica House) by Otto Wagner, 1899
Linke Wienzeile 40
Vienna, June 2018
“The most famous of these is the Majolikahaus or Majolica House, at Linke Wienzeile 40. Its facade is entirely covered with majolica, or colorful glazed earthenware tiles in the floral designs which characterized the early Vienna Secession. The facade decoration was made by his student Alois Ludwig. The facade was not only decorative, but had a practical purpose; the tile facade could be easily cleaned by using fire hoses.” (Linke Wienzeile Buildings, Wikipedia)
