Owned by Kazimieras Škėma, a famous lawyer, this house had five floors, which in the interwar years was a rarity. During its construction the owner hat to negotiate hard in order to get its height approved by the municipality`s building commission, since it diverged noticeably from general height level of the structures on V. Putvinskis Street. Each floor contained a five-room apartment. Apartments in this house were rented by the Swedish and Czechoslovak legations. In 1933 on the slope of the courtyard a three-storey auxiliary building was built to house the garage, the drivers` quarters, and glazed orangery on the top floor.

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!
