This villa is important not only as a heritage of wooden architecture, but also for its history. During the interwar period, general Pranas Vaiciuška, a doctor of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, built and spent his family summers in this villa. It was built in 1935 and later in the post-war period housed a primary school, which was graduated by several generations of Kacherginians. In 2016 the villa has been renovated by the private owner.

The location of the building was determined by its proximity to a source of water, the Nemunas River; and its curved facade was dictated by the need to have space for fire engines. The main curved part of the building contained the garage bays; above them were the fire-station offices and rest areas; the third storey housed the Pedagogical Museum. Other small buildings were situated around the interior courtyard. The Nemunas street wing had a store on the first floor, an apartment on the second, and a pawnshop on the third. The curbed part of the building is framed by small towers whose purpose is compositional rather than functional.

"House with a round window" – this is how it is best known to many Kaunas residents. And although there are many buildings with such windows in Kaunas, nevertheless, the variety of their forms in one building, its exceptional architecture makes it one of the most striking examples of Lithuanian modernism.

This building represents, in the best and most clear way, the specific character of our interwar architecture: the harmonious interaction between tradition and modernity. Academic traditions are reflected by the way spaces and plan are structured to emphasize compositional axes and symmetry. This principle is opposed by the bell tower joined on the side through an arch gallery. The contradictory purpose of the museums – war and culture in one "body" – is expressed in two distinctly treated facades: the official, main one of the War Museum and the more laid-back one of the Culture Museum. In front of the War Museum there is a memorial square with monuments honoring famous activists and events of the national independence period.
