The house stands out because of the highly original "Dutch" type of facade not seen in Lithuania elsewhere. Like a make-believe screen it covers the whole house, which has neither the customary plinth nor, it seems, a roof. The latter, in fact, exists but is obscured by walls extending to the top. In spite of the not very conspicuous protrusions that form a stepped silhouette only at the very top, the facade creates the impression of a continuous plane which is nevertheless made to "sing" by a picture, in relief, of shapely arches that connect the center with a high staircase window. There was a private practice on the first floor, that belonged to physiciant Paulina Kalvaitytė.

Older residents of Kačerginė remember the writer Pranas Mašiotas, fondly called “Pasakų Senelis” (The Grandpa of Fairy-tales), sitting in his summerhouse, writing and talking to children. This corner of a pine wood and a house next to it have been respectfully referred to as Mašiotynė to this day.

This place recalls a three-parted swimming pool, a fountain, gold fishes, water lilies and the elegant ladies, wearing their classy swimsuits and sun hats, chattering in a sunlight... Everything suggesting the Golden Age of Kaunas city during the Interwar period, as the temporary capital of Lithuania.
