The design for it was prepared in just a month and a half, and the building of it took just half a year. The constructive framework consists of four riveted arches. The walls are a metal truss filled with brick masonry. Its exterior was thoroughly utilitarian and determined by its constructivist nature.

The nunciature was the first and probably only building designed specifically for a legation. The Vatican`s envoy would have enjoyed a good atmosphere here not only for representing and working but also for living and relaxing. The first storey had a chancellery, an office room, a parlor, a dining room, and a "winter garden", separated by sliding doors. The second storey had sleeping rooms, another office, and a chapel. However, because of internal political troubles the nuncio did not take up residence here. In 1932 the building was accommodated to a children`s hospital.

The building`s architecture was determined by its proximity to the Vytautas the Great Museum; the project`s author , as he himself claimed, sought to create a building that would not compete with the museum but just provide a quiet background reflecting some of its motifs. The main hall for banking operations was on the second floor and took up the entire middle block and rose through two storeys in the rounded part of the avant-corps. A part of the block facing Vienybės Plaza was assigned to the Foreign Ministry.

This residential house was always exclusive because of its architectural "language" and its place in the city – both facades of the house are equally representative and decorative. This house built in 1929 also has its success story – because of the active community its facade was renovated in 2017. One of the most active leaders of this community – two young businessmens – also bought a flat in this house and returned it to the real 30s!
