Baker Street, 221b was filmed on Jauniela street. However, Holmes and Watson’s house, although its windows face Jauniela, has the address Palasta St., 4 – this is the official address of the Riga City History and Navigation Museum. The fact is that Holmes’s house contains the museum’s archival rooms, and you can go upstairs via its staircase to view the museum halls, walk through their enfilade, and exit outside through the building on Palasta. The museum is a single complex made up of several buildings, integrated into each other over centuries, and it has several entrances. Previously, before complicated real estate issues arose, the house still had an address on Jauniela street, which included the small house that covers it from the street. Later, a boundary delimitation took place, and de jure it is now Palasta, 4.

Holmes and Watson’s house is located slightly off the roadway, in a small cramped courtyard. From the very first shots, the filmmakers tried to hide this fact and create the illusion that the house’s facade faces the roadway.

As you can see, there is no memorial plaque on the house, although there could be. The owners of the nearby café also do not exploit Holmes’s name in any way, although such a gift is rare for an establishment. It’s understandable – after all, this is not a Latvian film...

Several times we see the characters walking down the street and then approaching the door of house 221b from the right side. But there is no passage on the right; it’s a dead end. You can only approach the door from the left, going around the old one-story house number 22, which stands exactly between Holmes’s house and the street. Nevertheless, the windows of the house face Jauniela street. By the way, from these windows you can see the safe house on Flower Street from the film “Seventeen Moments of Spring” https://reveal.world/ru/story/yavka-na-tsvetochnoj-ulitse
