In Linke Wienzeile (near Naschmarket) in Vienna there are two interesting Art Nouveau buildings by Otto Wagner. In 1973 the entire facade of No. 38 was regilded. The medallions between the windows are the work of Kolo Moser; the doorway in Köstlergasse was designed by Josef PlecÄnik. The oval stairway and decorative lift cage are also of interest.
In 1899 Otto Wagner covered the facade of No. 40 entirely with majolica tiles decorated with plant motifs; on the frieze are sculpted lions' heads in bronze. This house, too, has an interesting stairway.
